Despite the negative title, let me tell you: I LOVE MY CAR. It is a 2013 BMW that I bought this year (2018) for 20k. It was exactly what I needed-- a two seater with "room" in the back for small passengers in the back row. Perfect for my needs! Great power. NIMBLE handling. RESPONSIVE. Sexxxxy car with multiple levels of fun. Slip it into Automatic Mode for SUNDAY driving. Slip it into SPORT MODE for aggressssssive trafffffic. Slip it into MANUAL MODE for true fun. I traded a 2017 NISSAN MURANO with 260+ HP for this car...and I have no regrets. HOWEVER, it is an adjustment. It is a smaller car-- no LOWES or HOMEDEPOT RUNS...and you want to remove the rear headrests for added visibility.

Most fun I've ever had driving a car

This quick, nimble and sexy convertible gets looks and comments everywhere I go. It was my "dream" convertible and I am lucky enough to be the 2nd owner. I have had this car for 4 and 1/2 years now and have never had an issue. I do dedicated maintenance on it, but it is truly a solid car. It has great pick up from stand still and if you "punch" it. I have the stick shift and it's a blast. If you get a chance to own this car, I highly recommend it. I will be keeping this baby forever!

This is my 7th bimmer since 2008 including a 540i, Z3, 335i, Z4, Z4M. 335is. The 135i has all the power of any of the others, the 7 speed dct is at least as good as the three pedal cars I’ve owned. All around handling is great with the M option package and non-run flats. It’s as nimble as the 2 seaters, and way ahead of the others including the 335is. All around, it’s the best BMW I’ve owned.

Put it in sport mode and acceleration is fantastic. Regular mode, acceleration. Is good but sport mode is super sporty. The roof I can put up or down while waiting at a red light it’s so fast and easy. The handling is everything you’d expect from a BMW. I don’t have navigation so I did not rate that but I always use my phone for navigation anyway so I don’t miss it and it’s nice having a clean dash that’s not lit up all the time. I was amazed at the amount of space in the trunk and it’s so easy to get large things in, I just put the top down load it up and put the top back up! I can transport way more than a regular sedan because I can get larger things in and out with the convertible top. The convertible is so nice when driving around, the winds not bad, I can have the top and windows down and wear a cap on the freeway with no problem! It’s been a great car and I love it!

I have owned 124 cars. 18 911’s M5, 635, 545, GT, and so many more. When my sister said she wanted to sell her car I told her I wanted it because I knew how special it was. It now has 105,000 miles and it’s still a blast to drive. It’s amazingly balanced the power is perfect and the handling is surprisingly good. Don’t think twice if you find a nice one buy it as I’m going to be buying another one this time with a stick.
