I finally found my "perfect" 135i just a few miles from my house hours before I was about to book a plane ticket to pick one up in Florida! 2013 135i in mineral gray with coral red boston leather interior, DCT, m-sport package, non-navi (I love the clean dash lines) with only 17,000 miles! Best part is she even came with a full set of alloy BMW rims and snow tires! Glad to join the fun! Pics below (just rained so she's a little dirty).

I didn't work with Brian, thanks for the tip, I will make a point to connect with him next time!  My husband is with Kelly Moss Motorsports in Madison.  They do some pretty insane stuff...needless to say it's fun to talk "shop" after hours! 

Great question!  This is indeed my first BMW but I have always loved the E36 and E46 era cars styling.  The 3 series have just eeked up there in size for me and I love the look of the 1 series as a sort of "throwback" to that era of classic BMW's.  And of course, I couldn't resist the 135i over the 128i once I drove it, and I wanted the N55 (over N54) hence why I ended up with a later 1 series.  It's just a total blast to drive and the MPSS make it so sure-footed in the summer!  I came from a Toyota FJ cruiser and Mini Cooper before this so it's a whole new driving experience for sure!
