LOL

I thought u were being a smart *** Readrs13,,,,,,,lolol,, until I see you do have a fit.

The hatch is fugly and if thats what u want, get a Z4 coupe.

The 2 door is what is coming here , and its not too bad,, kinda buggeyed thou.

Actually i just got first dibs on the 135i list here in Omaha.

I hope it is semi roomy inside, this very well could be my next ride.

I'm not sure about that, everything I have been reading says only the coupe is being offered.

I wonder if they'll have an AWD version. If so than I may make the switch to one.

Because it only weighs 130 lbs less than the 335 coupe and it looks like *** from certain angles, IMO.

Anyways- you already have a 335i to play with....135i is not deminishing your purchase in any way,its a hell of a car with prosede and lsd.......

For me - its out of the price range for now, but the 135 might be just about what doctor ordered.....

Do not feel a remorse. Although for a weight standpoint 135 is a little bit more formidable...

Don't worry dude, I am OK. I agree, if you can't afford the 335i then the 135I would suit you even better..there is nothing wrong with that

I know you don't mean to bad mouth the 335i.

Having the 135i around makes the 335i a totally pointless car when we are talking about performance. It would be foolish to buy the 335i over the 135i.

damn.. too bad its only 120 lbs less.. i wish it was 2900 lbs.. if so it would be a SERIOUS performance car with some SERIOUS potential, especially with a shiv tune makin 100 lbs of torque over stock.

Do not forget that euro standart is weight + 170 lb for a passanger and luggage,
So it should be around 3200.... Get rid of runflats,sunroof,change the seats - we can be at 3100 easy. Its not that bad......

This statement is an overkill, at some point of life (around 28 for me) just the performance on a DD doesn't cut it anymore

Gotta have some lux.

Hardly. The 135 is 88 lbs lighter than a 6 speed 335i coupe in europe (the numbers have been released). The 135 is also based on the E46 platform, while the 335 is obviously on the E90. Also, if you don't want to run around in a car that looks like crap from certain angles, the 335 will be your choice as well. I like the 135 a lot, but its existence hardly negates the 335.
