Took a look at a 135i yesterday

berm3 · 07-13-2007, 11:03 AM

To me the interior does not look much diferent from e90 or e92 interior. Lets be honest here, the interior of 3 series it’s not the highest quality either.

I have two kids, so it's even less practical for me. If it were not for needing some room in the back, the 135i (or 130i) is exactly the car I was looking for before I bought my 330i.

The cupholders are right next to the parking brake like it was on E46 coupes.

And as with all of the recent models, photos do not do it justice. Personally, I think this car is designed better than the E92. The lines flow smoother and it's a much more integrated look overall.

This car is going to be quite the driver's vehicle!

I think the interior (Dash) is better than the 3er. I hate the "double" hump Navi thing on the 3er...the pop-up one is much better IMO

I have 2 kids and I still just may buy it anyway

I really like the looks of this car, not as soft looking as the E92. In regards to the interior not bad at all. Probably alot more fun to drive than the E92 as well

bartman32 · 07-13-2007, 01:06 PM

sweet! I like it! Still like the hatchback better though.

I was thinking the same thing. No reason we shouldn't have three cars. Although, the wife would kill me if I got another car and it was MT, too.

I'd probably have to give up my 330i, which I wouldn't be willing to part with, at least not prior to the warranty expiring.

larryn · 07-13-2007, 01:55 PM

I have 2 kids as well, and am definitely, no question, getting one. I just with it were a bit lighter. This car is going to be very fun.

The more I see it the more I want one.

TroyJam · 07-13-2007, 05:57 PM

I think it looks like a winner.

TroyJam · 07-13-2007, 06:00 PM

Here's another shot.

ik999 · 07-13-2007, 06:06 PM

wow

I think I'm starting to like this car

I hope it handles even better than the 3

///M3NACE · 07-13-2007, 06:06 PM

looks like a replica bmw.

TroyJam · 07-13-2007, 06:16 PM

Keeps getting better.

ATG · 07-13-2007, 06:24 PM

Looks like an awesome performance car. Much classier than WRX Sti ltd., which is probably the same size and almost the same price range. Well done, BMW! Also, the interior is no worse than in the 3-series (at least in the pics). If 135i will be cheaper than 335i by 8-10k, I see no reason of spending an addtional $$$ for the 335i, except the "status" thing. If you want room, get a 5-series.
