I adore it!

I adore it! I would heartily recommend this car since it's a fantastic blend of BMW and sport. It fits well with a family and is incredibly comfortable. Fantastic vehicle, GM!

Amazing Luxury Sports Car!

This car is a very nice luxury sports car, with great kick to it as it has an oem twin scroll turbo, and with it being manual the feel of the drive is much more fun!

The car is fine, the dealer was horrible

The car is just what I wanted, time will attest to its reliability but it's just like my former car which I really liked. Unfortunately, the dealer (HGreg Doral) lied about a 3 day money back guarantee, and I found the car had two tires worn through to the cords and a bent suspension component. Took about $2500 to make the car safe to drive. Shameful bunch of liars, do not buy from HGreg!

Most fun car ever own

This bmw 135i is garage kept. Looks and drive like new the price is about $2500 under KBB. I believe you will not find a car like this in Las Vegas NV. My cell # is 702-592-0664 to schedule a test drive. Sandro44

Funnest car I ever owned.

My 135i from Carmax has been phenomenal. A complete joy to drive, with road-holding, pickup, top-end, and stopping power. It has great amenities. Slight issue with a pinhole in hose caused a minor problem but otherwise great!

This car is exactly what I wanted it to be

I owned a 2007 BMW 328i 4-door for almost 5 years. That car was very comfortable and I would even say that it was fun to drive. As time went on, I found myself wanting more than the ~220ish horse power that the N52 engine had to offer. I also wanted something with steering that felt more connected to the road. I also began to notice that the 6-speed auto transmission was a bit clunky in the tip-tronic mode. I also realized I didn't need 4-doors... So I began the search for a car like the 328i, but with more power, tighter handling, and a better auto transmission, but with all the interior refinements that I had come to love about my 328i. The 135i fit the bill. The E85 135i with the N55 engine and 7-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission filled in the gaps I had noticed in my 328i. 300 horsepower is a lot of fun to drive, and you can actually use all 300 horses on a regular basis without getting killed. The M-sport package handling is a huge improvement over the 328i. I feel very connected to the road, and I can confidently toss the car around when I need/want to. The Dual-clutch transmission is amazing. The shifts are only noticeable through the sound of the M-sport exhaust: There is uninterrupted power to the wheels and you just hear this beautiful sound with each upshift. I love that all the interior things I loved about my E90 328i are still present and in the same place in the E82 135i. I did not have to compromise on any of the interior options. The iDrive seems lightyears ahead of the 2007 version. The headlights are beautiful, even if they do cost $1300 each. My only concern is the harshness of the ride, but that is par for the course with a sports coupe I suppose. I hypothesize that putting non-run flat tires on the car will improve the comfort of the ride, as it feels like these run flats are made of wood.

Good things come in small packages

FUN car. Peppy. Great handling! Easy to scoot around town in. I have the IS model it?s a blast. Of course, the down side is BMW no longer supports the electronics in the car but, Small sacrifice.

Super fun sports car

When we ditched our minivan, we researched hard and long and chose this car. We wanted a convertible with back seats. We also wanted horsepower! And an automanual. This car did not disappoint. Everyone admires it. You zip around like a maniac if you want. No problems at all over 3 years so far. Super tight. Even the big kids make the backseat work and love afternoons on the road.

Sporty, stylish and fun to drive!

Wanted a second vehicle to save on lease miles. A summer/spring convertilble was a logical choice. Bought this BMW 135 with 26,000 miles. It is fun, sporty, handles well. A little slow exceleration out of the gate, but climbs to a good cruising speed relatively quickly. Really fun to drive. Good basic options and sylish interior. Love it!
