Soft close doors

Some dealer pics for now ...

Nice, you got the HUD as well! Looks tidy.

Is that a 12 plate? How much is that setting you back?

13 plate. It's about 26k

Looks like a decent price considering the low mileage. When do you pick it up?

[TW]Fox · 23 Oct 2015 at 11:18

No it doesn't, That's the new one. They just look very similar that's all.

Great car. Much nicer inside than a 1 series

Different world inside vs a 1 series!

TBH the M135i never really felt all that special.

Heading over to Cardiff tomorrow to pick this up.

Verrr niiice, love the white/cream seats

There's a white M135i around here with red seats. I really like it but worry it might be amusing for all of 5 minutes with the auto?

Dealer I'm getting mine from said they don't do handovers at the weekend, the gits

I'm getting mine on Monday.

We'll have to start a 5 series owners thread like the Graphics card forum

Heh, I did think that as well actually.

It's wipe clean though!

Almost perfect...does nobody spec adaptive suspension?

They get bigger and messier...

Yeah....BMW Press cars and 535d's

Don't think I've seen any used 530d's with Adaptive drive.

In what way, just the interior or as a car in general? Interesting as the missus mentioned a 135i as her next car, but I'm thinking AMG A45 Turbo...

Very nice indeed, the best colour combo, looks very smart :cool:

My thoughts exactly.... So I part exchanged mine for a Mini GPII. Best exchange ever.

Very nice although cream/ivory seats with children is a bad idea. Worst decision I ever made when getting my Range Rover Sport but they look lovely when clean
