Was told yesterday that they're changing the Perth launch from being over 2 days to just 1 day and that, as a result, "there were going to be lots of disappointed people". Didn't ask why, as I can't be there anyway. Apparently the Auto Classic building is only able to legally hold 1000 people.

apparently they are expecting 900 people. If even half of them actually show up it'll be a pretty big launch event I would think.

Can you reassure me? How does it look compared to a 335i?

Personally I LOVE it! :wub: , but the 335 does have very nice lines, the day I ordered the 135I I had actually gone in to buy a 335 or an M3 had the wifes approval to buy either. Would still love a M3 but in WA I think its a waste. and the 335 is a little big (I drive a MINI) for me much more fun to throw a little car around!
I am not disappointed at all, it certainly has a different look, but isnt that the point? and its not as potbellied as the photos, but the one series has that line....and I have a MINI so that is stumpy! but i live with it because it has 250BHP and sticks like glue to the road.:roundel: |

Thanks jcw2006aus. I'm not worried about the size, I used to drive a Eunos coupe before the last 2 Falcons. Okay, I'll not stress and will wait until I return and then go look in the flesh. Oh, thanks!

HAHAHA...i got a sneak peak today too at the 135i in the flesh @ Autoclassic but my dealer told me not to say anything as they aren't supposed to be showing the public yet. Therefore, I didn't type this and cannot say that it looks great, isn't that much smaller than the 3 series and how much more excited I am about getting mine next month.

Haha, good one BMWDave. I have to go to Belmont tomorrow, guess where I may pop in to on the way home? Promise I won't tell.

YOU ARE ALL VERY NAUGHTY BOYS. ONE OF THOSE BEAUTIFUL LADIES IS MY WHITE 135i (the one with the sun roof) and I ordered her in July 2007 and have been very patient. Now you have sneaked a peak at her through the curtains whilst she is being cleaned up for me. I feel like an Indian groom who has yet to see his bride but everyone else has. I'll be there at the launch but I won't be leaving alone....so there!

Steve, mate, she's beautiful and well worth the wait. Exceptionally jealous you'll get to take her home that night. I've got at least another month til my beautiful blue baby arrives....

You're jealous??? I've got another 4 months to wait and I won't see one in the flesh until June the 3rd.

What are the colours and trim of the 2 demo 135i's, guys? Didn't go there this arvo, had to come back via Galleria.

Simon - I believe the launch cars (in 135i Coupe spec) are Sedona Red with Black leather and Sapphire Black with Black leather. Can't comment on the trim.
There were a couple of 1 series coupes/convertibles in the warehouse that I spotted, including Steve's white one. On another note, spotted a very nice white new M3!

Perthites, will see you at the launch tonight for those coming. I'm about 6 ft tall and will be wearing black suit (not pinstripe like our eastern [mafia] counterparts) with a white shirt with pink stripes. Will probably have parentals in tow cause they want to see what i'm spending all my hard earned cash on - can't escape mother's watchful eye, even at 27!
