Hey guys, not sure if any of you remember me. Anywho, I just got back from overseas again.. although I was only out of the country for 2 months this time (1+ year last time). As the title says, I picked up a new ride! Unfortunately, it isn't a Z car but I also wanted this car ever since I heard about the release. I pre-ordered back in February (1 day after my birthday) and picked it up in mid May. I picked the car up, put a few miles on it and had to garage it for a few months while I was gone. Now that I'm back, I finally get to really drive it. I just passed break-in a little while ago and I still haven't pushed it above 4K RPM. This car is incredible and everything I could want. The pull off the 300hp/tq off the 3.0L twin turbos definitely throws me back in my seat like I have never felt in my previous car. ('05 RSX type-s 210hp/147tq) Anyhow, I have only taken these two pictures of the car but I'm hoping to take more soon.

2008 BMW 135i Coupe

I hope I can still get a 240Z someday.. I really want a turbo Z project...

Positive, only coupes in the US This is the first year the 1 series has been released in the US and also the first year of the coupe. Europe had hatchbacks and now they have coupes too.

It's manual of course

I'd love wheels but I have other things planned first.. and it already has twin turbos.. A simple ecu flash or piggy back will bring it way above 300whp.

A little over 40..

Have a 1on1 interview at GameStop (video game retailer) I'm a college student and I'm definitely broke right now. I used to have a 2005 Acura RSX Type-S which is now gone and received full payout from insurance for the original cost (about 24K) and worked for Intel (the computer company) for about a year overseas and saved pretty much all of it since expenses were paid for. It still wasn't enough to afford the 135i but somehow the parents actually preferred the 135i over my choice of a car I could actually afford. (I wanted the 135i ever since I read about its release, but when pricing was released.. I scrapped the idea) Basically they rather put some more money on the table rather than have me driving a convertible (S2000). Safety being their issue brought me to this car
