Cool! I love it in these pictures, more than I ever have before

thedean786 · 10-13-2007, 10:38 PM

OMG - foglights!!!!

thank God.

scollins · 10-13-2007, 11:06 PM

Damn, they covered the roundels, so I'm not exactly sure that is really a BMW. Could be a Kia, we just won't know until they remove the tape on the front and back.....

Who the heck do they think they're fooling?

FirstClass · 10-13-2007, 11:19 PM

How do you know it's a 128? I thought the 135's had single side exhausts like the 535.

vladinecko · 10-13-2007, 11:35 PM

howcome i'm never lucky enough to catch such sightings. damn!

Year's_End · 10-14-2007, 10:52 AM

I see they included the amber in the headlights. lol, they're just doing that so that when a facelift comes along they'll have something to change around besides the bumpers. I can't stand how they do that. It's very unfair for the first round of buyers.

That is the ugliest car I've seen in a long time.

I agree. I love what it represents, but I'm just not sold on the looks of this e92 coupe caricature

My girlfriend summed it up perfectly when she said "OMG that's so cute!"

EVO_S4 · 10-15-2007, 05:26 AM

front ok , but the back look like $hit

Park2670 · 10-15-2007, 09:09 AM

Well the brochure is official. Just got to work and opened up DCS to see the New 1 series sitting on the first page. Im excited for this!

it's a 128 because (among other reasons no doubt)

1) it has fog lights
2) it doesn't display the M-aero kit including the rear grey plastic piece.
3) it doesn't have the small lip (fin ... can't think of the right word for it!) on the trunk....
4) it doesn't have the appropriate size opening up front for the intercooler

im sure there are other reasons

i don't like this car in red myself.

I have seen the new M3 and 1 series test mules on a weekly basis for about the last month. I live near Santa Barbara,CA and BMW uses the nearby highways for long term testing. Both cars are black with no trim, and the 1 series wears those black bra covers on the front and back. The M3 is a test mule and looks really rough, but it sounds like an M3, wow.

Crimson92 · 10-15-2007, 02:18 PM

Looks like a volvo from behind

VoiD · 10-16-2007, 07:24 PM

I saw a 1 series hatchbak not too long ago in arlington va.. I'm disappointed with the size of the front headlights. They look too bulky.. They changed my mind about getting a 135.

AH · 10-16-2007, 09:11 PM

still can't get it to grow on me. The front headlight is just too big.
