[FLIPDADY]

This car looks hawt! I'd definately want one of these since the 335 is a bit out of my reach.:chuckle

looks good but the back looks a bit unfinished

[Jeff-TheBiz]

Is it just me, or does the whole back end look like a terrible Photoshop...

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.. coupes suck.. :( where's the hatch version

ass is still duct taped .. that's why it looks unfinished..

[Jeff-TheBiz]

ass is still duct taped .. that's why it looks unfinished..

oh, so it's the limited edition Red Green special.... hmmm.

[3GFX]

Can't wait to see it. Hopefully its not as flame edged as the hatchback with smoother lines like the 3.

[ArManI]

that is so cool~~

[Unoriginalusername]

the 135i hatch is cooler imo... being 150lbs lighter than a 3 sedan it should scoot too.... but its 20 grand more out the door than an ms3 and immediately back off my list.

This top gear reviw keeps it off:

[MattC]

is the duct tape stock or a paid add on? :chuckle

[SIM SIMMA]

Regardless of whether they found the R32 a better performer... when and if the 135i hits the NA market it will be a HUGE seller.

The turbo engine is nothing but awesome... no bias here ;)

[Wild Weasel]

They're making a 135i??? That's gonna be a freakin' rocket!!!

[SIM SIMMA]

Well it's not out yet... but it will be produced. Not sure if they will regard it as an M1.

But yes it will FLY.

[Unoriginalusername]

They're making a 135i??? That's gonna be a freakin' rocket!!!

the 335i 3 was 0.2 seconds quicker in the motor trend best handling cars around the track... not insane enough to justify the extra 20k out the door imo

[Wild Weasel]

0.2 seconds quicker than what?

[SIM SIMMA]

I'm going to take a wild guess and say...

335i was 0.2 faster than a Speed 3?

my vague-o-meter is kind of off today...

Right I forgot ESP isn't standard human equipment :chuckle ... ya than the ms3 around the road course they used. If they gave the 335/135 an LSD it'd be alot quicker, but it doesn't so it isn't

[SIM SIMMA]

Here is something from Car and Driver on the 135i

HUGE disappointment

1) no diesel versions
2) no hatch..

BMW on blacklist now :chuckle

[SIM SIMMA]

1) who said?
2) yes no hatch for now...

[majic]

1) who said?
2) yes no hatch for now...

the article u linked didn't mention it.. so i ASSumed :)

still no hatch breaks the deal.. :P

[SIM SIMMA]

lol... but the articles are never always accurate are they?

they haven't said which models they will be giving the diesel engines to in 2008.

We'll wait and see...

[Caz]

Does anyone have any ideas how I can start to convince the wife I really need to upgrade my car to 135i?

[majic]

start with a penis pump.. :chuckle

[Caz]

It comes with a penis pump?

WOW, The Germans think of everything!

[Unoriginalusername]

I wondered about the hatch, since they previously said it is in fact coming.. the coupe is a separate model. now i think both are on there way

[SIM SIMMA]

you would be incorrect to believe a hatch is coming to north america.

when BMW NA introduces the 1 series for 2008 there will be no hatch version.

the 2 models in discussion are coupe and sedan

[SIM SIMMA]

okay well let's hope this BMW source is right... it is dated in jnauary of this year... lots can change

I'm not here to argue... i would love to see the hatch come to NA as I know it would do really well.

perhaps it's just the 5 door version that people want, but won't see...

time will tell...

maybe "my" source is wrong? lol

[Wild Weasel]

No worries. I think the 1 series hatch looks like ass.

[majic]

No worries. I think the 1 series hatch looks like ass.

zzipp it sunflower boii!! ;)

definitely looks better than the flower parked in your garage ;) but i guess as they say.. beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. :gone

[Wild Weasel]

I honestly think my Sunfire looks much nicer than the 1 series hatch. You can quote me on that.

The 1 series hatch looks like they took everything that was cool about the M-Coupe and completely retardified it. The proportions are just all wrong.

[Caz]

I honestly think my Sunfire looks much nicer than the 1 series hatch. You can quote me on that.

I think I will quote you and I have to ask when was the last time you had your eyes checked? LOL

[Wild Weasel]

Eyes checked? Dude... just look at it. It's hideous!

dude.. it's ok.. everyone has their own tastes.. i mean, the majority of us would vomit at the first sight of your sunflower.. i am still cleaning out my keyboard..

bottom line is.. it's not ALWAYS about the looks and looks alone.. plus to each their own..

[Caz]

With better rims that car is Pure hawtness!

[majic]

agreed!!!

[Caz]

Have a look at the UK site:

[Wild Weasel]

Meh. It looks like a midget version of a 5 series. Midgets aren't hawt.

[Caz]

Midgets aren't hawt.

Depends who you ask.

[Wild Weasel]

Depends who you ask.

Well then. Whatever floats your boat. :chuckle

[majic]

Well then. Whatever floats your boat. :chuckle

:loco :flaming



zzipp it sunflower boii!! ;)

[Caz]

Thanks majic, I think he missed the point.

FTR - I think the sunflower looks like a midget Firebird. And I know how you feel about midgets. LOL

[Wild Weasel]

More importantly though.. I know how YOU feel about midgets.

Of course, I don't really know how you feel about Firebirds so I'm not sure what to infer from that. :chuckle

ROFL!!!

plus.. i am pretty sure he's just bitter b/c he dumped enough money in his sunflower power to buy the 1 series AND have money leftover for mods :chuckle

[Caz]

The white looks pretty awesome!

All current BMW owners already get a subscription to BMW Magazine and I have seen it ofcourse (Mom has a 330Ci) and absolutely blown away seeing the UK version! It was "planned" to bring the hatch to NA when this issue was released (late '06) but it seems they have changed their mind. Nonetheless, even with the ridiculous price tag, this car will sell like CRAZY!

It is a freakin' ROCKET!!!

[WLS ZMZM]

I think the hatch looks pretty good.... especially that white one.... that antennae has to go though... it just looks funny... I think it's just the angle its on heheheeh... Oh well...
But yeah the car looks pretty good in my opinion... Guys don't pick on Wild Weasels Sunflower... some guys like them... some guys don't.... at least his car isn't like this one idiot I know.... you guys will get a kick out of this one and I'll have to get pix... but he's got a sunfire front end and a cavalier... rear end lmao.... now thats a waste of money!!! I call it the sunalier... or the crapafire..... either way its still a sh*t box !!!! :bang:bang:chuckle:chuckle

[EvilDeadFan]

The sedans looks like a cheap Kia or Daewoo with projectors.. The hatch looks awesome.. something about those squinty eyes and the weird body lines on the side.

The trunk design ruins what is an ok back. The front and side are good, its aggressively cute. The side need a different sill line, not a fan of the sag.

[EvilDeadFan]

[QUOTE=3GFX;197002]aggressively cute.QUOTE]

Were you intoxicated when you said that? Man... :)

[3GFX]

No I'm serious, I see the BMW lines which are meant to be aggressive, but at the same time you can see how it tries to be 'cute' to attract female and non "Ultimate Driver Experience" owners.
