Seen any 1's in Raleigh or NC?

Hey Guys, I'm in Raleigh and I've been testing cars all summer. Looks like I'm gonna spring for the 135i . (But, not final yet. That d*mn HPFP has me spooked!).

Any way, I've been checking the roads all summer and I can't recall seeing a single 1-series car here. I may have spotted one 128, but even that I'm not sure about. I've seen beaucoup Lexus IS, Merc C-class, Beemer 3's and older Beemers, some G35/37, Audi, Cooper-S, really everything but no 1ers! On the other hand, I think that's kind of cool, too ...

My neighbor bought a 128i convertible after I got mine so I see at least one every day now

I'm one of the guys with a 1 in Fayetteville. Had it a little over a month. I also have a '66 Porsche I restored and a motorcycle I love to ride, but
neither one has seen the outside of my garage since I bought the one. It's that much fun. Buy it!

Good friend is in Koeln right now, with his AW 135i doing ED. He's from Charlotte, and doing redelivery at the Performance Center.

I work out of Raleigh so I'm around. I haven't gotten mine tinted yet but I've read good things about TVPAuto and Tinted Atmospheres.

There are a few in Charlotte, my commute to the University takes me by the local dealer and they've probably had 30 or 40 through there since they came out. I've personally seen 7 or 8 on the road, more 128s than TT cars.

There are 2 of us with 135 'verts in South Charlotte, and I know there are a couple of other members here from the QC. Considering how many BMWs there are in Charlotte there are stunningly few 1s around IMO.

I know there are some in Raleigh as I have a Montego Blue 135 here in Raleigh. I have seen about 2 silver and 2 white ones (128s and 135s). I've also seen a red 128. Someone also reported seeing another Montego Blue (as they thought it was me) but I've not seen it.

So yes, there are some around, just not too many.

Not Raleigh, but another one in the Charlotte area. I got mine from Hendrick in April '09.

Looks like there's at least 3 of us around here then that would be up for a meet. Somebody throw out a weekend date and we'll meet up for lunch and pictures or something.

Saw someone with a red 1 on I40 last night about 7:20. I think you may have been trying to follow me, but I was on my way to indoor soccer so sorry I couldn't stop. Car looked good though. We need to get a 1 meet together for the Raleigh folks

1-Series in Chapel Hill

... I'm in Raleigh ... I've been checking the roads all summer and I can't recall seeing a single 1-series car here. ...

I've seen a couple in Chapel Hill. Recently, I viewed a black 1-series, as it turned the corner quickly downtown, but as I was on foot, I couldn't tell if it was a 135 or 128, however, it had temp tags. I'll be adding to the count here in January, when I pick up my 135i from the PC in SC.

The big tease will be the "pickup" in Munich with ED Wednesday after next, 25 Nov 2009, then the 6-week wait!

Hi all, I've had my 135 for year and a half. Saw my first other 1er just couple weeks ago. I'd be interested in getting together with other 1 drivers in RDU area.

My wheels showed up this week so I'm pretty excited to get those on this weekend. I'll start a new thread soon for a Raleigh area meet so we can try to pin down a day for those interested. It might even be a good "first meet" to go to the meet in Brier Creek next weekend. Here's a link to the thread for that meet:

This is in conjunction with local Porsche club and normally has a nice turnout of high dollar cars
