200lbs lighter, $5900 (unloaded) less than a 335i, and .1 seconds faster than an e46 m3. It's a great car but if they gonna make a smaller car atleast make it a better value.

 

and when comparably equipped they are only like $2k-$3kdifference

 

Yea its still really heavy and its taller than a 3 series coupe (WTF were they thinking)
Its a total chick car and with that short a wheel base and 300 hp there are
gonna be alot of crashes.

 

I've driven the 335i auto and it really moves, the same engine in the 1 series will be really great.

 

I heard the 1 series has one of the best shifting auto's ever made

 

the 1 series can get quite pricey too.. I was messing around on the bmw website putting together a 1-series.. with pretty much all the premium options etc etc... comes to almost $60k... lower price range? I think not....

 

Saw one on the road yesterday and they're pretty hot

 

They do look good but I would find it hard to justify the money out the door for a 135i when a few grand more buys you a 335i that has a lot more practicality. Or even moreso, for the cost of a new 135i, you could have a killer B6 S4 and money left over.

 

ugh. the 1-series is for wannabe's
