I priced the 135 on bmwusa.com... It gets up into the 40s, even high 40s, very quickly.

High 40s if you order 80-90% of options. e90 335i's advantage is better dealer side discounts.

Anyways, this topic has been beaten to death and then some more.

That's the first thing I noticed. I hate how the 1 series sides curve upwards towards the front fender like they do on the Z4. The new side skirt design tricks the eye into making the car look more aggressive. Good move BMW.

Many people thought that the new 3 was uglier than the old 3 when it first came out, including me.

Overall I think the 135i looks pretty damn good, though I would straighten the soggy sides a bit and make the headlights a tad smaller. Can't wait to see this thing in person.

x5love · 02-12-2008, 08:49 PM

I love that first side view... the fenders look pretty damn wide

the rear is pretty aggressive looking too

great rims

nice M front

its just the lights.... oh and please don't order this car with a wood interior

are those blackened exhaust tips?!!!

BiscottiGelato · 02-12-2008, 09:38 PM

I actually like how the car looks a lot, both interior and exterior.... Kinda regret getting a e90 last year.... ah well my old beater was dying anyways.... not like I had a choice..... Maybe next car, maybe.... Even tho I know I'd miss those rear 2 doors.......

Oh, and 300hp on this friggin small car is CRAZY. In Canada a Japanese WRX, heavier w/ the same power is actually pricier than the German 135i!

OzStriker · 02-12-2008, 10:11 PM

I have reserved my judgement for awhile, but I am convinced its ugly.

i hate the head lights and front.. i dont mind everything else.. not a car for me, but the rear tails looks niice, and the side angle stance of the car looks cool. e46 upgrade.

E90330iS · 02-13-2008, 12:52 AM

Think it looks great! This color actually make this sporty car so classy!

renasis · 02-13-2008, 01:07 AM

Rchan. · 02-13-2008, 04:15 AM

Wow the 1 gets a real cup holder

DuckofPrey · 02-13-2008, 05:14 AM

I think the side profile of the 1 is excellent... It looks different and it looks athletic. The back... I can live with... I think it reminds me of the first generation Elantra... but you can also argue it has the BMW's classic L shaped lights... It is a good looking design though...

What really bothers me are the headlights... You see, I believe a BMW should look intimidating.. Not shouty like a body builder, but like a quiet, menacing stare of a professional assassin wearing a really nice suite. The 1's front looks like a wide eyed cutie-pie.. Not unlike ->

Even though... I just can't ignore a small, lightweight car with 300+hp....

JonMartinsGirl · 02-13-2008, 06:10 AM

OOOOOOhh I like it and will be getting one.....I don't think it's ugly at all, bit small.. but hey it is a 1 after all what do you expect? You want a bigger car get a 3 or a 5 lol

LDitty · 02-13-2008, 07:45 AM

It is pretty ugly and definetly needs dual exaust heads
