I picked up my car less than a week ago, and I can't stop smiling! I ordered the car in Crimson red, with light beige interior, high gloss black trim, and a black convertible top. This is my 4th BMW, and it is the most fun to drive of any car I've ever had.

Perfect 3 Season Car

Great driving car. Best used as a 2 seater but having the rear seats is a huge plus when needed. Surprisingly roomy trunk, with plenty of room for a week away from home. Plenty of power in the 135i with sport mode engaged. Easy to drive and efficient in drive mode. Paddle shifters with the DCT are a huge plus too. The ride is a little rough with the M sport package but the vehicle handles like it's on rails. Convertible top has efficient operation, you can raise and lower at a red light. Overall I am very happy with my 2011 135i and would recommend the vehicle to anyone looking for a sports car with a touch of luxury and practicality.

I bought this car 2 and 1/2 years ago, and I love driving it. This car handles like a dream and is very fast especially when you hit the sport button. My one and only complaint is the high cost of maintenance.
