Yea I had that car for the majority of the time and let me say it was absolutely AMAZING!!!!

Now we get a 135i which is still a fun car and not that much slower than the M3.

Hopefully we get another M after that.

Than the ///M3??

I would say color wise yes. I did not like that black/blue color it was weird but you cannot compete with the M areo kit. Makes the car look like a beast.

I think he's talking about the 135. I kinda agree. I looks like they just took about a 6-8 inch section out of the length. Kinda stubby looking. But hard to argue with the same HP.torque as a 335 in a smaller/lighter package.

They are both different cars. The 1 series does look a little stubby but I still think it is a pretty decent looking car. Has some ugly lines but for the most part is pretty nice. The interior is pretty nice and has a good layout. The one we have right now is fully loaded. Retail is about $46,450 on the one we have right now a 335 with everything that is on the 135 would be about 56-58.

I don't know I like them both but coming from me that doesn't say much because I like pretty much all the BMWs.
