Still ugly but with added M badge to kick you in the wallet. :laugh:
-
True - still ugly but same insurance group than our mk5's at a 17 too for a 3.0 litre twin turbo is tempting!
-
Booooo! M version still sags in the middle :sick:

Here speaks the man who has bought the car Alan Partridge used to drive :wink: Next it'll be a pair of crochet back driving gloves

Possible replacement for the Ed30 for me. Still to drive one though so that'll be the decider.. Quick map and 360 ponnies, so should go well and I think I would leave it at that.. Well maybe.. :wink:

What for?
Save your money and remap the 135i. Makes it just a tad quicker by all accounts :evilgrin:

Damn site better looking than the BMW "sagmobile" though.
Oh, and have you been stalking me? How do you know about my new gloves? :signLOL:
-
I have driven a fair few of these and mapped even more...... Great car just watch out for newer ones that are actually single turbo! The twin turbo engine is brilliant. I was so close to buying one but then saw sense and bought a 335d which is far more practical, cheaper to run and insure and put out 348bhp and 600ft/lb after a fair bit of dyno work and mapping.
-
The engine is a peach 3 Ltr Stright 6 Bi-Turbo (they put the twin turbo's into one double sided unit) should map to around 400hp but kiss your warranty goodbye. BMW do performance parts for 135 & 335 which I'm looking at.
On the 135 they have also just included a bucket and brown paper bag as standard. :signLOL:

Not all are the twin (or Bi) turbo as later engines were revised to be single turbo. Juts be sure to double check. and then buy a 335 :wink:
-
Apparently it gives better MPG than 2 individual turbos, started on the face lift 335 from May 2010. Amazingly I have seen 40mpg :happy2:

-
The later ones are a twin scroll single turbo.
Shall I post a picture of my White BMW......
And ive never seen 40 mpg out of my 335d, well done Neil getting it out of the i!
-
Oh and I've driven the 123d coupe and it was great fun
-
335d coupe in white would be my car of choice but its ridiculously expensive!
I guess you get what you pay for eh boys! :signLOL:
-
The newer single turbo 335i or 135i s also are the cheaper tax class too so that will save ya a couple of hundred a year.
Tbh if I was paying the high tax band i would be for the m3 and not the 335i but the newer single turbos are very tempting, deffo can't go faster for the 245 squid tax category !
-
I had a 356 bhp 335d followed by a 406 bhp 135i for about 10 months... What do you wanna know?

-
i neeeeeerly brought one! before the S3 but it was the running costs and lack of room in them that put me off! very very fast tho! def put a smile on my face!!

Yeah but thats like saying get a TTS dsg and a map instead of a TTRS
-
Yeah but I'm not a hairdresser so wouldn't ever be driving a TiTteRS :innocent: :evilgrin:
-
Nothing in particular Matt. Just the overall + and - of the car really....
The TTRS as nice as they are, i just don't have my clippers and scissors anymore to
put in the passenger seat!!!! :signLOL:
-
:signLOL:

Something i'm looking into at the minute when I get the S3 sorted! Evolve Stage 4 = 420 BHP of RWD laughter :driver: :driver: :driver:

i could go and put a nice deposit on one tomorrow and get the rest on finance but i just couldnt bring myself to do it because as fast as they may be,its still an Audi TT.
I have hair clippers, but thats merely to shave my head
id get the RS3 though, that will be a MAN's car :grin: :grin:
-
every time, this car comes up we seem to be split :signLOL: i love em and think a future classic, dont know what its called but some have a thin silver stripe down and i love it, but i do like decals! :P
