Your Price: Ask Us

Don’t let its small stature fool you; the 2011 BMW 135i packs a punch and has all of the requisite German-made luxury appointments and driving impressions.  Available as a coupe or convertible, the 135i is evidence that sport and luxury can be found in small packages.

Speaking of that punch, the 2011 135i features an all-new 300-horsepower, 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six cylinder engine.  The new engine sends power through the rear wheels and is mated to a standard six-speed manual or new seven-speed dual clutch automated manual transmission.  Paddle shifters are optional, as is the Active Steering system that adjusts how much the car turns for a given turn of the steering wheel.  The new engine is also more efficient than the last with 18-20 mpg in the city and 25-28 mpg on the highway.  The 2011 135i is the more powerful sister of the 128i and boasts a stiffer sport suspension and performance brakes for an overall cleaner, tighter driving experience.  The 135i competes with the Audi TT and Nissan 370Z. 

The 2011 BMW 135i rests on 18-inch wheels (coupe) and features standard heated side-view mirrors, rain-sensing wipers and a power soft top that can open or close in 22 seconds (on convertible models). Eight-way adjustable front seats, engine start/stop button, auxiliary input jack for audio devices and HD Radio are also standard.  Interior space in the 2011 BMW 128i is versatile with 60/40-split folding rear seats that provide enhanced trunk volume (up to 13 cubic feet). The convertible’s leather seats feature BMW’s sun reflective technology, which lowers the temperature of seating surfaces exposed to the sunlight. 

There are several packages that offer many different luxury amenities, like the Cold Weather Package boasts heated front seats and a ski bag, while the Sport Package features an increased top speed limiter, M steering wheel and sport seats.  A Premium Package includes auto-dimming interior and exterior mirrors, power front seats, universal garage door opener, ambiance lighting, lumbar support, BMW Assist with Bluetooth connectivity and Boston Leather seating options.  The M Sport Package adds 18-inch Light alloy Double-spoke wheels, Shadowline exterior trim and anthracite headliner. A 10-speaker Harman Kardon stereo with a CD player and MP3 capability, smartphone integration, heated steering wheel and a navigation system, which utilizes BMW’s iDrive control system, are also optional.

When it comes to staying safe, the 2011 BMW 135i is protected by a host of standard safety technologies, including side-impact airbags for the front seats, side curtain airbags for front and rear occupants (except for the convertible, which gets pop-up roll bars), an electronic stability system and antilock brakes. Park Distance Control, automatic high beams and keyless entry with an anti-theft alarm system are optional.

With so many options and configurations that fuse so perfectly with power and efficiency, it’s no wonder that the 2011 BMW 135i provides a top-notch driving experience.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

 

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

 

 

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

 

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

 

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

 

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

 

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

 

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?
