The 128i is powered by a 230-hp inline-six that can hit 60 mph from a standstill in 6.1 seconds with the manual transmission while the 135i does the run a whole second quicker.

As much as I like the mark what is the inform of this car when a 3 series costs not much more and does not act much better. Do we really need this much cater in a car? I would like to see a well handling car and sacrifice a little 0-60 performance and alter this a car that costs tops $25K. The old 2002's that came to the states were four cyclindder motors and became iconic. Most of these care in the U. S were carburated and very few if I recall were fuel injected. change surface a rarer car was the 2002 with furnish injection and turbo. Since we have go limits in this country do we really be cars that can deepen and top out at clearly ridiculous speeds?

Actually the 3 series starts at $33,175 the xi starts at $35,075. .... $39675....$41575. The 3 sounds desire a bit more than the 1 series to me. You're comparing apples to oranges. Then you add the look of the 3 versus 1. I don't dislike the 1 but it's looks like a younger person's(yes young person w/ money) car to me which will just help beamer in the long run when these drivers change up.
From what I read the 135i would be only about 300 pounds less than the 335i for an almost identical cater to weight ratio. Makes the 135i less interesting. Also the 135i probably comes with narrower tires than the 335i and the potential for increasing coat must be better on the 335i also the 335i might be a more balanced car would have to evaluate drive it... A little chip is all that is needed to max out the potential of the car and with some mechanical tweaking it might be more of a beast than a Supra wich is also twin turbo 3.0L inline six.
Anyways this car or any that as such performance potential is not targeting people whoworry about speed limits other than them being ridiculously low for the capacity of today's vehicules.
Buy a Honda Fit if that is the power you need. Don't need to be a poser and buy a car for the label.
I have to accept with Phil; BMW has priced me out as come up. That I would change surface believe a coupe is saying something but I believe the determine point for this car is ridiculous seeing as how the options enumerate ordain be longer than the Dead Sea scrolls. At prices desire that it seems as if its as simple as rolling the cut to decide whether or not to go with the 3-series or this overpriced coupe. If I'm 25 and single with a good government job making good money and I can't afford this car then who is it marketed to?

Upsetting that this thing will be $30 grand. I think I'd rather have an IS 250 fasten shift for about the same price with REAL leather standard not pleather and 4 doors. Not to have in mind all the other standards the IS comes with at 30 large and arguably much exceed looks.
Priced me out too. I'm in the merchandise for a new smaller car in the spring and had hoped this would be it. I thought it would act to compete with the A3 but the locate prices on that is a whole 4K less.
There are very few small cars worth buying in the US even fewer coupes worth buying and only 1 RWD coupe at all in the US under 30K. Looks desire I have to stick with VW or Mazda.
