No problem. What part of Wellington are you in? We are Newtown based. We considered the iX3 but as you say the iX1 is faster/AWD and I prefer the styling (obviously personal choice). The iX3 has slightly higher range but I don't think this will be an issue for us. Also its ~$20k cheaper

Car arrived at the dealer yesterday. Can’t wait.

Lots of nice new photos up on Trade Me now In addition, the paint blemish on the passenger door has been removed.

Thanks Jon

Beautiful F20 M135i https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-3972642175.htm

Meant to be off the ship on March 4. How long does it typically take to get a car ready?

To be fair I did something similar with my M135i. I took advantage of the half price listing to get it up and am slowly getting the photos etc sorted now. I did have a reasonable description though.

My iX1 is arriving 4 March!

Thanks Pete 😎. Do you think the price is reasonable?

Thanks Jon. I’ve reserved one through Continental in Wellington. Still waiting for final pricing though.

Hi all I was wondering whether anyone is considering the new iX1? The reviews sound pretty good and I think it looks fantastic for a small SUV. 300BHP as well which isn't must less than my admittedly much lighter M135i.

I use to love my Mineral Blau e30

Has anyone bought these yet? Any feedback? I plan on getting a set this week.

Also twins. I love mine:

Had a lot of fun doing the route Paul suggested. Need to clean part of a poor bird off the front of the M135i though

Thanks very much guys. Off to google maps to check these out.

Hi all I’m heading over to the Wairarapa with a friend this week. Does anyone have any recommendations for great driving roads? cheers

Just what long weekends are for . . . 2013 F20 M135i 315bhp of fun

Awesome I just bought myself a white m135i

Thanks Olaf. I have the same concerns! Might stick to Caltex unless anyone has tried the chemical guys.

Hi all i don't have facilities to clean my car and wondered if anyone tried either of the following: 1. http://smartwash.nz/ in Newtown, Wellington 2. Chemical guys EcoSmart-RU Waterless Car Wash & Wax : http://detaildepot.co.nz/product/chemical-guys-wac_707ru_16-ecosmart-ru-waterless-car-wash-wax/ Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers

Which one did you buy? I'm also looking.
