The 1 Series Has Landed in the US

yes – sometime between tomorrow and next March I’ll be selling my mini and getting a 135i. At least that’s the current plan. It really hinges on finding the right buyer for the MINI. And I still love owning/driving it so I’m totally fine keeping of another year.

Since ive got a child on the way I was thinking leatherette was the way to go. Ive had it many times before and found it pretty close to leather but easier to clean.

Ideally I’ll sell the MINI later this summer and go car-less until I do a european delivery of a 135i in March.

A very good plan Gabe! Think the European delivery is more than worthwhile, would be better still if it was already broken in though so a little flogging at the Ring was in order lol.

This plan has tentatively been in the works for a very long time

I am sure that you will make sure your Mini goes to a Mini Maniac and the so-so Factory car just makes yours shine better.

I completely agree and honestly that makes it harder for me to want to sell it.

Next question, how do you think this will affect you at the Dragon? Still have wondered how a BMW will fit in but at least your still doing Motoringfile so think you can get away with it.

I’ve told most close friends for awhile now that this will be my last Dragon for the foreseeable future due to family and a tightening personal schedule. I may change my mind but I have no plan to renew my cabin for 2009. But your question may actually be more apt than you realize for this year’s Dragon.
