Portland Autoshow

Oregon · 01-10-2008, 08:01 PM

Hey guys,

It has been reported the 135 will be at the Portland show, Jan 24-27.

Brandon26pdx · 01-11-2008, 11:04 AM

Cool. Where did you hear?

The rumor is we will have a 1 series as well as possibly a new m3 at the autoshow.

Brandon26pdx · 01-13-2008, 04:23 PM

Oh, that should be well worth 10 bucks then.

Oregon · 01-13-2008, 09:02 PM

As I typically work 6 days a week, I won't be able to make the show.

Please post pics for us PNW guys who can't make it. Oh, could you ask the rep if the 135 w/Sport package has a second oil-cooler? That would be terrific.

FrencgBoy · 01-19-2008, 08:07 PM

Any more info on this? I would probably make the trip down it this was true.
Thanks,

Brandon26pdx · 01-21-2008, 11:17 AM

I'll most likely go (for the first time in a few years). I'll take a few pics and see if it has the oil cooler.

You da' man!

Ty Vil · 01-22-2008, 12:00 AM

I should have a firm answer tomorrow

135i in Alpine/Coral is on display!!!!! ( <--- JOKE )

Kidding kids... 128i in Sedona Red. I was depressed for the first 5 minutes then realized I was in the presence of a 1 series coupe for the first time ever and cheered up. Still looks pretty good, can't wait to make it more aggressive looking however.

FrencgBoy · 01-24-2008, 05:55 PM

That's awesome news. Portland, here I come!!

Brandon26pdx · 01-24-2008, 05:55 PM

Any pictures? Can you touch/sit?

I'm tempted to go over there tonight and check it out since the crowds will probably be the thinest.

Can you post something more detailed and less confusing than that please? Is a Sedona 128 the only car there? Can you get in it?

Would be helpful for those of us who have a bit longer trip to get there. (IOW: I'm not driving down to Portland to see an ugly red exterior on a car I can't get inside)

Ty Vil · 01-24-2008, 09:31 PM

It sounds that they have 2 of them on display.

smwhtshy · 01-24-2008, 09:41 PM

I'm there..! Seattle is 160 miles, no more than 5-6 days of commuting all added up. Geez, turbormg, the chance to see what one looks like this close to home (I'm a Seattle guy too), is great, regardless of what color it is..(?)..you're a girl, huh. Thats OK, though I figured girls for the cabrio..Portland usually falls a bit behind Seattle in stuff, so this is great...! Can't wait, Saturday AM I'm out the door, and in 2.5 hours, looking at my new baby in the flesh...

Not quite. Just lazy as hell and worse than sick of that color.

Brandon26pdx · 01-25-2008, 09:47 AM

Any pics of the 135?

smwhtshy · 01-25-2008, 10:57 AM

Hey turbomg, sorry for the assumption...just didn't figure color as a factor to be weighed if there was a chance to see it. Not getting to sit in it, etc., yes. Anyway, I'm going down tomorrow AM, and will get a good look at it, if there's anything you want to know that I could share thats not available elsewhere, hit me back and I'll update you Sunday AM.

993 911 · 01-25-2008, 03:20 PM

THERE IS NO 135i

That's ONE stupid joke...

Thanks for getting everyone excited for nothing

Seemed pretty obvious from the original wording that I was not satisfied after viewing the Sedona 128i, my appologies.
