The E84 has the room for a 6. How about a M50d dropped in, with 375Bhp, 381PS, 280Kw's, 740Nm's and 546lb-ft. Lots of other Area's would have to be upgraded as well, ha ha Crazy but probably not for some of you guys. The 35i would be a great one to get hold of and Time is running but what would be wrong with a 28i with Performance Extras, Wheels, Drop etc. and it's 8 Speed for Economy. |

As much as I love the X135 idea, the more I spend time with it, the more I feel its stuck in a no man's land. If I push it hard the all season RFT and aging 6AT and 39xx lb weight start to show themselves, and when I'm trying to cruise comfortable, the firmer suspension than other small SUV and heavier steering always try to remind you the car is 'sporty' |

To be fair, I don't see the car as a small SUV.... I think it's labeled more correctly in Europe as a raised wagon. It's basically a sedan with taller suspension and crossover-ish styling. That's also why I love it. It might be stuck in no man's land but I also feel it's hit the spot dead on. Would be great with some active suspension to soften the day to day driveability, but then it would be in a while other price range.
Keep in mind this is coming from a 28i owner, so I can only imagine how much sportier the 35i is. |

Yeah that caught me completely by surprise too. I think the F31 is newer styling, interior, etc. Plus from what I understand the F31 is actually larger inside than the E84

Not going to lie, if they made an F31 in 335 (or 340) configuration, i would have bought that instead...maybe The deciding factor would have been steering feel Last edited by DUI Elite; 08-18-2016 at 02:59 PM.. |

Well, this thread is now moot. I ended up buying a 2014 x1 35i. I compromised on color, and instead of blue or valencia orange, I ended up with Gray. But it's okay, it's growing on me!

Thanks guys.
I'm already looking for winter wheels! I like the 2AG package wheels, it'd use those in the summer and my stock ones in the winter. Oh, and the JB4.... god, that's tempting. |

Do eeeeet. You won't regret it. But... get a metal charge pipe, lol. It's worth the peace of mind.

I don't have either (I have the Dinan Sport on mine), but I think one of the main advantages of Dinan is the warranty coverage (it's essentially BMW endorsed).

Ya I actually found mine and it had the Dinan already installed, so I sold my jb4 out of my 335. because of the cost of the jb4 I would have kept that.

Correct, it doesn't warranty the car - only the product itself. You have to get the full tune to get the matching warranty.
