It looks pretty nice, but put it next to a E90 Coupe (E91?) or a E46 and for me its firmly in 3rd.

Agreed... but when you factor in 300 ponies and a (hopefully) much cheaper cost of admission, it suddenly becomes even more attractive.  :)

And less weight.  ;)

BTW, the current 3 Series is E90 Sedan, E91 Wagon, E92 Coupe, and E93 Cabrolet.

Is it me or what that the car looks like Chris Bangle grabbed a giant mallet and hammered the front and rear end of a 3-series? Reminds me of Tatu.

Why does a hitting a car with hammers remind you of two Russian pop stars?  Am I missing something here?

Woops my bad. I meant Tattoo.

The E92 Coupe is (in my opinion) the most attractive car BMW makes today.  But I think the 1er has a nice look to it.  Not nearly as "sexy" as the E92, more like a little bulldog or something.  If I could get a 135i (which comes standard with that M-kit) for near (or hopefully less) than a 328i Coupe, it'll be a very attractive option.

Besides I don't forsee any babies in my near future and I don't particularily like driving friends around.  I smell some test drives coming next spring (335i, 135i, and G37).  Hopefully I don't come to my senses before then :)

I'll be right there with you for support brother...or maybe the devil on your shoulder.   :stick:

No doubt about it, the e92 is a far better looking car, but the power to weight ratio of the 135i is hard to beat.  If it comes in anywhere near (or below) a 328i...there will be a new car at the top of my list next year.

The 135 was featured on Car Business tonight on BNN. The boys drove a 130 and the Hydrogen 7 around and had Bangle show them a rather pretty bright red 135. I wonder if it will be big enough inside.... 'cos it will be a good deal cheaper than a 335

If thats what you're after, then yes. For me, between a E92 (thanks for the correction ovr) 328Ci and 135 (would those be close in price?) I'd take the 3 any day.

Excellent... you and your brother can warm up the sweet deals at B-K Motors in the next year -to-year-and-a-half, then I"ll go up and reap the rewards in two years when it's time to replace the MX5.

Vman... of course you have no more use for your backseat -- rumour has it you're gettin' hitched!  :thumbup:

Does anyone have the power to weight's of the various models anywhere?

There are some very nice 135i pix in the above link. Far better than we've seen so far. Enjoy.  :)

Dear Mrs. Mitlov,

I'm a good husband and a good father.  I bust my butt every day to pay the rent and take care of our baby.  When I read deposition transcripts for eight hours, it's all for you, baby.  And I'm a pretty selfless guy.  You know how last night, when Jackson vomited in his high chair, and an hour later pooped in the bathtub, I cleaned up both?  And I didn't complain about it?

So don't I deserve a little treat?  We could share my Subaru and call it the family car, and I could have a little something-something as my daily driver to work and the store.  I won't check any options boxes.  I'll be happy with leatherette and manually adjustable seats.  But please, baby, can I have a 1-series coupe?  Pleeeeeeeease?

Lovingly whipped,
Mr. Mitlov

This post is so funny!

This is supposed to be a "purer" BMW experience than the 3-series huh?

Very interesting.

Great post Mitlov!

I think we should set up a "To Santa" thread for Christmas!

Feel free to change the name of your fake festive friend and your religious festival.  :P
