I actually really like the BMW 135i. The only thing I dislike about it is the ugly front end. Well the 1-series M Coupe still has an ugly front end... but has more performance... so I'd assume I'd like this car even more!

Can't wait to try it out... hopefully BMW will offer some test events here. I know they are already singing people up in Europe.

Is anybody else disappointed that this car has "only" 335hp?

Car is nothing to write home about. I believe it's using the N54orN55 engine. With just a different tune. It's a 135 with suspension, widebody, LSD with a bit more power in my opinion

It's an inline6 and not as light as you may think they are. Should get some good 0-60 times tho but I wonder how it fares around the track and how if falls in comparison to the big daddy M3

335hp, whats wrong with that.. you not pissed the evo had 291 lol
I think with its weight the 335 will feel nice
also with a V6 TT this will take nothing to be as quick as you want

Wasn't the 135 already v6 tt and rated at 320 hp. It's just a 135 with m package lol. Price per hp the evo is still the better car not to mention better handling and way cheaper aftermarket.

Ps 1 series looks like a chicks car I'd take the 335 coupe with m package over this any day

lol oops just realized that i put v6 instead of inline6. Anyways a fully loaded 1 series cost 55k before taxes so expect this to be 10k more plus taxes. Thats alot for a 335hp but german companys are known to underrate their cars so we will see what it can do when its on the dyno.

If its got anything like a typical late century M then it will have ITB's and high compression but with the turbos I doubt that. Might just be bigger exhaust and a tune...

Not sure how I feel about it... would probably prefer a M3. For what I understand they are giving them away for a while now to boost sales. I heard 60's+tax...
