Wiper blades replaced.

NO this is not a for sale ad.. Just stating that its coming up by the end of the year. I am getting rid of the Evo and returning to BMW again for the 3rd time by ordering a 2008 135i coupe.
I have enjoyed the amazing power and handling of the Evo but now find myself wanting something a little more upscale and refined yet still youthful. For those of you that are not familiar with it.. here is the brief description.

The BMW 1 series is new to the US market starting in 2008. This coupe is
the spiritual successor to the original BMW 2002. The 135i will utilize the same powerful twin turbo engine used in the current 335i model. The advantage will be that this vehicle will weigh less and be more nimble than the 335 models and will be able to be tuned just as easily for maximum power.

Below are photos and here is a link to the press release and also a video.

Video: Testing the 1 135i at Nurburgring..

Nope no change of mind.. Drove the 335i last night and WOW.
When its right its right.. just like your box over the Mazda 3.

I may still hit Mike up depending on feedback from potential buyers.

I understand.. I do not expect most to agree.
Sometimes you just know what is right for you and this is the direction I need to go. Don't get me wrong.. I have huge respect for the Evo..

You can drive it .. no need to sneak.

Adam.. this trim will probably be about 36,500 well equipped.
I am getting Motego Blue for sure.
