I see but if you want to roast it, the 135i is nearly on par with the e92 M3.

completely agree but the times you can fully expoloit the 135i is next to nothing
much prefer the economy of the 123d with the shove when you need at much lower running costs

Its amazing my local BMW dealer has just dropped the M 123 cost from £30k to £25k if not even further! Fucking robbers.

Been to another few dealers today and i have come to the conclusion a 123D M-sport Coupe is the one.
Going for a test drive in one tomorrow just to make sure. Even better is i dont need to order it till December where as a S3 i needed to order asap to ensure March delivery.
O that and the fact i believe a new A3 model is just around the corner where as the 1 series coupe is still quite a new model.

Yep i am going for white with the optional 18" M-Sport wheels as well. One thing that did shock me as with a m-sport the only colour you dont have to pay for is white!

Excellent choice! I want one for my next car, the only thing putting me off is the shockingly dull interior.

depends really
Most offer it free but some like Alfa its cost option as its not a solid colour
BMW used to also do criomson red as a solid colour for the MSPORTS but it got removed
so only cost free option is AW although i think its one of the best

Not 100% sure yet, the M-sport comes with half leather as standard and if i go full leather i would want heated seats. Still i have got a few months to decide. I am going for a bluetooth setup with a ipod cable and the light and rain pack.

My brothers current company car is a white '60' plate 123D M sport with the bigger wheels with the red leather etc. Its awesome, that m sport steering wheel in that car is the best wheel ever! so nice and chunky.
