BMW 135I (All threads merged)

Rumors and gossip really don't count. The dealers confirmed that the BMW135i is coming to America with the 128I and the 135i Twin turbo. This last one will have a six pot calipers.

I received a direct phone call from my salesman to let me know that it is scheduled to be launch in Spring 08 but I am sure it will occur sooner.

If you were looking for a fast and affordable car with 4 year warranty don't find any excuse, plan for it, this is the car for you, all I can say is that it will be fast with capital letters.

Don't listen to the 5.3 0-60sec claim from BMW , this is a mid 4 sec 0-60 car guys!!!

This will be the brute powerplant that we all dreamed to have in a smaller chasi. This is the slap in the face to the uncomprehensible resale market to the Supra World.

Your money will go one million light years farther and more worthy than buying a used Supra for $10k less of what this car will cost new.

This is it people, great powerplant with an affordable price tag for the masses..

It's going to be one badass little car...
It's a serious contender to be the next thing in my driveway. I can't wait till they hit the dealers.

Base on my personal opinion and backed up by having read many many car magazines for many years I would say, it should cost at around $35000, maybe a hair less. As far is weight, I would say definately 150lbs less if not more.

This car with the stupids mods already proven in the dyno could be a insane fast car. The AWD version seem to be available soo(already available in the 335i).

Just a fast recall of what some tuners and parts are making on this car already is in the 420whp/460wlb/tq range(Dynojet) with the following components such 3"dp, cat back,Vishnu Procede V2.0 version
