I've decided to get the 135i to replace my current E46 330i ZHP.
It the best of all worlds to me... cofort, handling speed, tun-a-bility. I just hope they offer a LSD option.

Because the 335i was released before the 135 and also because we did not know if the 135i was arriving to the USA.

The 135i is smallest because is lighter and viceversa. As far is the price I don't know how much exactly it would be, I assume about $4000 cheaper.

Other than that is going to be a great little pocket rocket.

the 135i will be insane with the 3 liter TT motor but too bad it got beat with an ugly stick. totally disproportional.

Sorry,man! Just read about it and decided to post! But now i see whats up....
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...

Just when I was falling in love with the Fit, I get attached to this.
I am thinking this thing might be exactly what I want, but it would be a lot better if it actually looked like a modern 2002.
