So then, what car are you buying next?

I can't deny the car will be good to drive but can't get on with it's looks. To me it's fugly and there's something in the design that makes it unappealing to the eye - both in pics and in the flesh.
If I was to go the BMW route (to which ive no plans) it'd have to be the 3 series coupé.

IMO BMW 1 series look so much better in white for some reason.

Not as good as it would look in an invisibility cloak!!

I went to my bmw dealers yesterday and they had one in, with better looking wheels, same blue, exactly the same interior, then i went round the back and it said 118d. Put me right off that someone can get the same looking car for less. Anyway i have to admit it looked good but i think a lot of that was showroom gloss etc and not being enough room to be able to look round at its ugly profile, front and rear.

What you saw was an M-sport 1-series not an M135i. The M135i looks different from most angles, twin pipes, better wheels, bigger calipers, xenon & LED as standard and 320 horse power...

Your comment regarding someone can get the se looking car for less, what about the GTD and GTI compares to your ED35?

Sounds like someones a bit smitten by the 135i?

I certainly am, it just seems too cheap to be true...

It has to be cheap to make up for its dubious looks....
