Carry on you welcome to it, value for money, that says it all for me.
I just don't get this "its really ugly" All the pictures I've seen of the M135i it looks good, not the best looking of cars but an ugly one? Are you sure you lot are looking at the 1-Series Urban that was posted about 5 replies ago?Jim

This car has M performance parts and was designed by the M-Sport team...I see this more as BMW version of Audi's 'S' (S3) versions and the M1 being the competitor to Audi's 'RS'Jim
