Nice good find.. can't seem to get enough infomation about the car.. to bad the wait is like 5 months...

yikes 5 months?!
ohh i cc canada

also interesting to note the article focuses alot on comparing it to the old m3 (e46) and also the new m3....

there is a huge price diff between all 3!

Izzodesh - NICE FIND!! One of the best reviews I've read so far. I moved it to the General section, maybe more folks'll see it.

Interesting tidbit unseen elsewhere:

So, too, does the replacement of the much-reviled electromechanical steering used on other 1 Series models (and the Z4) with good ol’ hydraulically assisted Servotronic on the 135i’Ä¶and the U.S.-only 128i Coupe, as well.

I thought I read elsewhere the 128 did not get the 135's steering rack....

^ yeah I noticed that too...and was wondering if maybe "US only" meant North Amercia(as in Canada too :roundel

I'd say it's virtually certain - US and Canadian vehicles typically differ only in options packages (and the occasional minor bumper mod).
