2008 BMW 135i

I got used to it. It doesn't look bad.

Me to, I don't like it yet and probably never will (blame that methodist Bangle who thinks he is clever but at the same time admits that his designs aren't photogenic..tosser)

I got used to it too. It really doesn't look as bad as say...the 5-Series.

The 5 series IMO is one of the best looking cars out there. I saw a facelifted version in black today. All I can say is awesome.

Its ugly.

Nice, this should be a real rocket. :D

The looks have grown on me quite a bit as well. In my opinion, this looks much better than the new E92 model 335 which lacks any sort of character whatsoever. A vanilla BMW the E92 is.

It is so weird that now I like the E90 more than the E92 because it used to be the other way around. After 2-3 years of hating the E90 sedan, it is now one of my favourite BMWs. How strange...

Hyundai.
Vorsprung durch Technik.

It's the spiritual successor to the 2002 Turbo is my opinion.. it had 170-180 horsepower for its time and was pretty damn fast. Exactly the same as the 135i Coupe.

"For the 135i Coupe, acceleration from 0-60 mph is accomplished in 5.2 seconds"

It will be faster than a E46 M3.

The 335i is said to be faster than the E46 M3, what would you expect from this baby monster?

The heat problem was because some of the early production models did not have a second oil cooler. Now the 2nd cooler is standard (at least for MT and AT with sports pak and paddles). So heat is not an issue.

Vishnu is getting tons of positive buzz. I hear you though, I would love to see a Dinan black box.

Currently the best kit for the 335i is the one from Hartge. 370 hp and LSD.

The next BMW legend...pure performance...premium design.

Where do you guys come up with this hyperbole? The only thing missing was magic feel and soul.

This si not 2002. It's an ugly little car with a big engine. Anyone can do that. (Although I will admit the convertible, if priced right, would be tempting.)

first of all, it's a sharp little car and will likely be incredibly quick given its power to weight ratio. sure to be great handling too. what would you buy instead for $25k? a celica?

and the 'article' was a press release so of course the language is overdone.

Xenon is FIANLLY standard!

now give us the PRICING INFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isnt it pathetic that it took this long? All 'premium' cars should have that standard. With a society so concerned with safety, this option should be more common. I have them on my car and will never go back to halogen.

This 135i should be a monster. Power and light weight. Bring it!

I thought this car was going to be for fuel economy...seems it will only be slightly better than the 335 using the same engine in a lighter package.

Cant see the pictures. Anyone have a different link to some?

love the front. hate the back. looks hyundia. bleh.

That's HYUNDAI!
