Well I was debating on upgrading to stage 3 for my SRT or putting the money on a down payment for a 135I. SOOOO, since the SRT is payed off and was needing a new friend, I went ahead and adopted a Sparkling Graphite Metallic 135I. I think they will make good companions. Delivery date is around 15 August, give or take a week. I'll post pics when I gets it.

Are you going to trade in the srt also or keep it? Do you really want car payments again? Or do you want a pretty quick stage 3 srt with extra money in your pocket?? Its really up to you and what want, your gonna get alot of mixed answers.

I'm keeping the SRT, there is no way in hell I'm getting rid of it. It will have to wait a little longer for the stage 3. I just can't pass up the deal I'm getting on the car.
Thanks man. If your ever over here in Germany I'll give you a ride, maybe even change your mind.
I doubt you could do that lol. It handles great, like any BMW really, but I just don't like the harshness of the ride and how small it is. I've never been a small car kind of person so it's just not my cup of tea. The performance is awesome too, the car looks easy to modify so those things should have a pretty good sized aftermarket world for them. But yeah riding in the 135 just really didn't do it for me bud. Then again I don't like riding in SRT4s either and the harshness of both rides kind of go hand in hand.
Now visiting germany...that's another story...I'd love to take a trip out there!

ohhh ok.... What kind of deal are you getting on it??

The price is through BMW military sales at $31,050 with the options I want $32,250. Then throw in the $3,000 I had set aside for the stage 3 total $29,250. I might put more down, but I think this is a hell of a deal.
I too am considering purchasing a BMW when I leave the UK. I need to save up as much cash money as I can so my monthly payments can be super low. You went with the 3 series? I'll probably go with the 1 series.
2003 M3's are around for 30k or less. I'd opt for one of those for the price.
Otherwise, I just wouldn't pick up a new car payment. If anything I'd sell the srt-4 and get something lighter, used, and RWD with a very good aftermarket....

No way man.. the 2003 M3's are nothing compared to the technology of the new Inline 6 twin turbo.. An absolutely amazing engine...
I also was looking at picking up a 135i but because they are pretty much out of 2008's I was going to hold off for the second year as supply is really limited.. Are you getting a 2009 cause if not it's not really all that good of a deal just so you know..
