It then turns into an irrelevant **** waving exercise way off topic.
And so the cycle continues...
I have to agree. All matee did was agree with my comments.

It's pretty obvious that he thinks his car is amazing - why would he have bought it if he thought otherwise?

I haven't been involved with other threads where matee has supposedly wound people up, so can't comment. But on this one I see nothing other than posts defending his choice of car.

Been driving an M135i for a week now,after taking out a two year lease on one.
I know it's not every ones cup of tea,after reading the other M135i thread,but I've got to say it's a pleasure to drive.
I know it's only leased,but still running in for a while longer,so can't comment on power delivery,but feels really different to my 330 bhp wagon.
The big difference is the comfort in the M135i,i don't miss those Sti springs with eibachs on my wagon.(it must be an age thing.)

I've had an M135i for the past 2 and bit years after owning a hawkeye STi. Biggest differences for me are the comfort and the power delivery. Regarding the latter the Beemer's turbo is starting to do its thing from 1100-1200 rpm whereas my old STi was dead in the water until upwards of 2500 rpm.
I loved my Scoob but the Beemer is such a nicer place to be (echo DLP and the age thing), not forgetting the 30-40 BHP difference (depending where one reads)

I'm sure the 125d isn't in the same league as the m135 but the in gear performance of the diesel is incredible!
