New car in the garage

Goodbye to the 135i convertible and hello to a 2015 M235i xDrive.

The wifey is pretty happy!

Very impressive upgrade, especially for a female, Matt! Congrats on the purchase.

Thanks guys, yeah she loves the car big time. Between the two cars, this one is probably obviously quite a bit more solid being it has a roof. It's quick too, quicker than my A6 for sure. The 135 had the DCT transmission and when it was new that transmission was pretty awesome but it started to have some issues and just made the car difficult to drive. Now this one has the 8speed ZF transmission and it is super smooth. Drives like my A6 (same transmission) but the BMW tuning is quite a bit more sporty, very quick shifts and it can be nearly invisible in comfort mode.

Overall I love the car, it was the perfect setup for her and the folks down in Colorado Springs at Winslow BMW were awesome with the deal. BMW had a lease pull ahead program and they paid our last 8 payments (6 by BMW and 2 by Winslow) so we just couldn't pass up the deal. Can't wait to take it to Bandimere with you guys later this season, I think Brenda is very curious to see just how much quicker the car is versus my Audi. She's a little competitive

the specs sound very promising on this car. I can't wait to see how it performs! And I bet this thing feels quicker than the a6 as the a6 is a boat

How do you manage to pull 13s up here? I take it it's not stock? I probably shouldn't say anything about a boat as my car is a boat too

Nice! I saw this one at Winslow last week while I was there (the service manager had just bought the Java Green M4 for his wife - not sure if you saw that one or not). That thing is loaded up with M-Performance parts! Very cool.

And I'm still drooling over the Mineral White/Sakhir Orange M4 they had. I actually liked it better than the Java Green one.

Congrats!

I think the Java green is a little too much of a color.

Yeah he was there yesterday. That m4 is too much for us. Java green, he just looks like a douche.

Totally agree in the white/orange m4, they were trying to sell that to us too. I'd love it but not that 79k price tag. Good group of guys down there tho, Bill was great to us.

They are good folks. I know you probably don't get it serviced down here, but if you ever needed to, Jason is a great advisor and Bryan is their shop foreman - just a great guy, big car enthusiast and incredibly knowledgeable. I always ask to have him work on my car when I bring it in.

Thanks for the tips Rich. I will keep that in mind. I bet their new store is going to be nice and more convenient near the highway.
