TWO TO ONE

8 Series and JCW traded for M135i. All options ticked bar hand gesture - useless on my 8! No dealer prep as off to pro detailer shortly. Cleaned photos to follow.

I don't know how to say this but you will miss the 8 for sure.

Enjoy your new ride.

I do miss the 8. Looked better, ride better, more comfortable, interior finish bit better, but not that much different, bigger engine better. However, neither Mini or 8 capable of moving our parents or grandchildren around and we only need one car now one of us has retired. My wife would not drive the 8 and Mini is too small. JCW was also great fun, but raw compared to 135i. The 135i is an attempt to downsize (parking an 8 in the UK safely (space or some nut wanting to park right next to you) was not always easy, keep some refinement, be practical, but also have some fun.

I understand. Would not be an 340i a better solution for one car in garage?

Thought about the touring, but too big for the wife and even some of the car parks around here.
