New 135i. Car & Driver Cover!

De90man · 05-31-2007, 07:22 PM

If your glasses are steamed from desire or anger...let me tell you the article says it'll cost 35K, be released in Spring 2008', and do 0-60 in 4.5 seconds

hmmm...dont know exactly how to feel about this

Cabby · 05-31-2007, 07:27 PM

While the 1 series seems like a good idea, I would think the hatchback would sell a lot better considering how small that car is going to be. Nobody wants a poor man's 3 series coupe. Why wouldnt you buy a 3 series if could. There needs to be something distinguishing about other than its a little bit smaller than a 3 series with the same engine. It's like making a 4 series that is between a 3 and 5 series sedan size, but with the same engine offerings. Just seems silly to not offer it as a hatchback if they are really gunnin for the GTI crowd.

Blah... this is one of the reasons I have been holding off on buying a 335i. Dang you for bringing it up!

dmboone25 · 05-31-2007, 07:30 PM

I'm in--looks awesome and is cheaper, faster than my E92.

Juggs · 05-31-2007, 07:32 PM

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

scpage · 05-31-2007, 07:32 PM

I was hoping it would be 500-600 lbs lighter than the 335

Garissimo · 05-31-2007, 07:36 PM

135i + PROcede + exhaust = Pint-sized killing machine.

Fartpimpson · 05-31-2007, 07:36 PM

who gives a shit? lol--it'll be a rocket!

Fraggy · 05-31-2007, 07:53 PM

I like the price tag of the 128i. I hope that it will lure buyers away from other brands. The only car on that list of competitors that Id even consider buying is the A3.

oneshare325 · 05-31-2007, 07:54 PM

Looks nice...but it will call to a whole new market of drivers...might be good, might be bad who knows?...i kinda like the small group feeling of driving a BMW though

cadbimmer · 05-31-2007, 07:54 PM

dont really like how it looks but it will be fast.

I like this car but I just can't see many people buying this over the 3 series for the price. it looks a bit...dinky...and i'm not sure mainstream americans are gonna like that.

toofasttooslow · 05-31-2007, 08:09 PM

Not really feeling the design. It's just so so and definitely not awe inspiring IMO

THE JEDI · 05-31-2007, 08:11 PM

Man those are some UGLY...photo shops...the car I saw a few weeks ago in a spy mag gave it a much better look than that.......other than that $28,000 for a 1 series....wow...it's gonna be a streaker.

mike fab · 05-31-2007, 08:15 PM

Hmmmmm:

- Are those gills? On a non-M car?
- Wonder if it will have a LSD too?
