Welcome to the club buddy.
JB3, dual cone intake, and some downpipes and you should be satisfied :thumbsup:.
Make sure you read up on the warranty bullshit that you'll have to go through if you tune though. Bav Technics cable (BT) for the win.

No kidding, we get raped in Canada too, and we're right next door! But at least we have the option of importing, which can be a bitch though sometimes.

Time flies and I'm not in any huge rush. They stopped taking new car orders for the 2009s about a month ago so it was either buy a car that would not be exactly what I wanted (if I can find one on a lot at all) and has already depreciated 1 year or wait 2 months for the first shipment of 2010s. I still dig my GTI so it's not like the wait is punishment.

Nothing material but some things have dropped in price. I know that the Sirius tuner went from $595 to $350 and the base price of the 128i went down $400 because they made the sunroof optional. Other than that there are no changes. All other prices remain the same.
The last major change was in the iDrive system between the '08 and '09s. It went from the DVD based system to a faster and much more extensive hard-drive based system (8GB of internal memory).

That's why you have an Elise. If you want a purpose built track toy, Elise/Exige is your car. When BMW made the lightweight M3 (E36) with cloth interior and no sunroof, it sold like shit. They're now selling for their original MSRP but in the primary market, cars like that just do not sell.

Well said. That's what differentiates the Grand Tourers from the sega rally cars aka Mitsubishi Evolutions and Impreza STi.
-Think they jumped on the upscale wagon and finally grew up with the current models. Don't think their fan following did though.

135i is a serious drivers car. One of the big wigs at work owns one with the Dinan Stage 2 kit. That thing is unbelievably fast. I've ridden in it several times and it definitely fucks with your head both in acceleration and braking. Pure performance car in my book. Love it.

been thinking about picking up a 135i used in a few years, on track to get accepted into the BMW STEP program so I think it would be pretty hard to wind up in a BMW service department and not snag up a used 135i or 335i that just needs a little love on the cheap if the opportunity arose.
