Lol twingo owners suggesting the 1 series comes with piddly engines :lol:

They are piddly in comparison to that model, I've owned big engined cars, I chose to go to a smaller engine for costs sakes, I dont bum the twingo like most.

Costs sakes, identical insurance group than the new Megane 265. I'm 25 with 7yrs no claims, costs me £640 fully comp to insure. It has similar 'stated' mpg compared to the Megane, in reality driving like a tool with town driving I got 200miles from 45l (20mpg), this was the first weekend and week I had it. Commuting to work/to Yeovil, 290 and 320miles from again 45l (30mpg). Same tax banding. Is over £10k cheaper than the Megane (used BMW against new Megane). I admit new prices, Bimmer is £6k more but if you fully load the Megane, for an extra £2/3k you could afford a factory spec 135i...?

Servicing costs, it's not an M, so parts and labour will be similar to other 1 Series and if you take it to a specialist, you'll half your labour costs again.

Only thing that 'can' go wrong with the 135i which has the N54 lump is the high pressure fuel pump, but with a yrs warranty, I'm not bothered. Plus if it goes after warranty expires, then it's still cheaper to replace than taking out extended BMW warranty.

But yes, when comparing it to a Twingo, of course it will cost more.

This is one good looking and quick car!!

Cheers , is certainly more of a looker than the hatch!

Got a few aesthetic mods planned, wanting to replace the kidneys to all black, the angel eyes to xenons, the rear light clusters to the new optional darklines and finally maybe to wrap the roof in Di-Noc 3M carbon fibre but not too sure? That's it though!

Thanks

They are stonking cars, aren't they?! Veeerrry tail happy, or I can't drive it as I did my Clio otherwise I'd end up arse first into the ditch or central reservation :lol:

Though had some warranty work carried out on it t'other day and had an F30 3-Series courtesy, it came fully loaded and made my car look and feel completely outdated. Drive was horrendous though, was the 320d ED, engine was gutless and had nothing to give :|.

I do however really want the led DRL angel eyes, my halogens look so shite in comparison, really thinking of xenon'ing them now

Yea it really is a great place to be, feels so solid is yet so comfy!

However, two months in and I've already split my seats. Had my Clio over 2yrs and not a single scratch on the leather

I want it

I would sell you mine..., but I love it too much . Could take you out for a spin should we ever cross paths at a meet, that's the best I can do

If you're interested, go get one, you won't regret it! Actually, you may do if you can afford a N55 and you get a N54 :lol:, but it's a surprisingly cheap car to run! Seriously, you will be impressed considering the amount of car you are buying
