Your car is beautiful, but looking at these pics makes me depressed I can't get it in the US

Bmwbreed · 03-21-2013, 11:50 AM

Love the wheels

Stan 24v · 03-21-2013, 11:54 AM

Thanks guys, you'll get the M235i though so dont be too depressed

MLSavage · 03-21-2013, 12:36 PM

My only gripe with the new styling is how they have scrunched up the inner headlights. Other than that the car looks phenomenal. Definitely would be my car if it were available.

Zombie1 · 03-21-2013, 12:43 PM

Love the gauge display!

ASPEC135i · 03-21-2013, 01:08 PM

Wow a meter for battery too????

RimasRS · 03-21-2013, 01:12 PM

AMAZING...
But come on what a mess inside it is your new car

ninja2 · 03-21-2013, 04:32 PM

Nice car

Mstandard · 03-21-2013, 04:38 PM

Great car you got there mate!
Did BMW give the new 135i a beter wheel offset?

135IS · 03-21-2013, 04:58 PM

That's for the auto start stop feature.

J-Sin · 03-22-2013, 08:10 AM

Not sure how I feel about those headlights but overall it looks great. Congrats on your new baby! lol I agree, the gauge display is rockin.

J-Sin · 03-22-2013, 08:17 AM

Did a quick mock up of how I think the headlghts could look better...yes, I used windows paint.

ASPEC135i · 03-23-2013, 08:16 AM

^ wow agreed! I would prefer that front fascia more. It's a lot more like the 5 & 7 series

HugoCostello · 03-26-2013, 11:16 AM

its so ugly compare to the coupe

ParkNuts · 03-26-2013, 11:22 AM

Congrats on your amazing new car that can't seem to get a negative review. Jealous.

Stan 24v · 03-27-2013, 01:11 PM

Pics updated guys.

J-Sin - good effort. The lights are growing on me though, it looks so much better in the flesh than pics. I take it you're USAF? Im a C17 Crew Chief in the RAF mate

MLSavage · 03-27-2013, 01:56 PM

The lights definitely aren't bad, they just aren't BMW. To me, the kidney grills and the 4 headlights are quintessential BMW. The rest of the styling changes and adapts. I feel they squeezed them a bit too much, j-sin's paint job is a good compromise. [and pretty damn good for paint!]
