You may not think it is better, but the new Nissan 370z is lighter, has 332hp, imo better styling. And to top it off its about $10,000 less fully loaded, vs a 135i with the sport package only. (135 has over $5,000 more in options other than sport package.)
And to mean that means absolutely nothing, because honestly i really could care less what other people think of my car. I choose a car by looking at what it will do for me. Sure it would be nice to have a BMW M3 or a Porsche 911 of some sort but as long as their is something that in my opinion is better looking, and costs way less money I will buy the cheap thrills version. As least until I have grown up, matured, and need something with four seats I.E. a BMW M3 or M1 when they make it.
I do agree that the BMW M3 is much better. If i bought the 135i which i like, i still would feel a bit like, even though it's quite a bit more money, would i of rather saved and a few years later got an M3.
The new 370z is over 3500 lbs... the 135i is 3373 lbs....you can get a nice equipted135 base at 34k...topping at 44k, the 370z is 30k for base model all the way upto 40k similar in price....
The build quality of the 1 series is the same as the 3 and 5 series..for $500 you can pump up the 300hp\300tq 135 to 370 hp\380 tq wich will enable the 1 to destroy the top line nissmo 350hp 370z.. The nissmo model of the z actually adds 70 lbs of weight to the car so the 20 hp increase is no good....
@08turboSS its hard to find any base 135i and if you do the lowest u can get a 135i plus tax is close to 40k already. Pretty they are price pretty close to the 335i alittle bit cheaper.

No sedan. MPG? Not so good with 300hp and me driving. Here is what my dealer just emailed... I would like to thank you for expressing interest in the all new 2008 BMW 1 Series Coupe and Convertible. These exciting all new vehicles are due to arrive in our showroom in early March.The Coupe will arrive first, and the Convertibles will follow a few weeks later.
They keep saying it's like the 2002tii, I still think it calls back to the e30 more than the other. it's small, it's quick, it's somewhat compact. I love it. I want one.
Audi S3 go home !!! Not that the Audi is a bad car, but that BMW is just terrific. Great design and an absolute fantastic engine, I drove a 335i last month and that engine just go like nothing I've ever driven. There is no Substitute to a BMW if you ask me cause that's the only car that's all about sporty driving pleasure. Except Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini of course, but who can afford them ???
oooh yeap thats right twin turbo the 135i, but the 335i not run 4.8s :S is the M3 E92, the 335i run 5,6, 5,8, in many page performance put 4,8, 5,3 etc etc :(, sorry my english is bad im from spain hehehe..
BMW Releases Official Specs on the New BMW 135i Coupe...306HP and 0-62 MPH in 5.3 Seconds! .. i found in thetorquereport..com
I don't wanna sound fake but although i cant afford any of them i do work at a bmw store and i tell you the M3 is a way faster and more powerfull car...and it's so much better looking...
actually, i think the M5 is def the best bmw out there!!! i fell in love with it. Now i sent 20 people a picture of the M5 and a 135i, and 12 people chose the 135i ! so if its neck to neck with an M5, then the M3 doesnt exist !!
If i could choose between 135, new M3, m5 or M6 I would say either M6 or new M3 then 135i and last the M5...but everyone has his own personal favorite...
ho w much power do you really need? I think it has enough, its just a matter of if like BMW's history and its obvious resemblance to the 2002. I love the compact size it has but I am still a little bit nervous of BMW's appeal to the new rich and the bridge and tunnel crowds. (this applies to the US of course).
I don't know how anyone can say that you can compete with an M car just by having more power. It's ridiculous. M cars are just something else. Even if this 135i had 500 bhp, it would still be a 1 Series car, in the same class as VW GTI.
