That was a fun read...

Who ever gets that car definitely had the "drive it hard" break in method!

It could just be me having bought one but I think comparing this car to anything seems problematic. It really does appear to have created a class of its own.

I want mine...... NOW!

This with a licensed SCCA driver behind the wheel, with a car just off the dealer floor.

Nice article. I just looked at a black 135i AGAIN this morning, that car is DROPDEAD gorgous.

That was a horrible review - I had to comment on the idiot that wrote it (see comment section on the review).

So it goes fast in a straight line, there is more to the car than that. And at a self reported 5'9" his manhood is only proven by bragging about being a SCCA driver and then risking the poor salesperson's life and job, and thrashing a new car.

Wow - what a doink. SCCA should find this guy and yank his license. That is assuming that he has one.

I can only hope that the members of this group can appreciate the 135 for more than top end speed in traffic.

Wow, nice writeup.

Then again, I'm glad I'm not buying a car from NJ.

"I’ve read several places where people have complained that the pricing of the 135i puts it in the same range as the 335i. Let me assure you-these are two different cars, and I find it hard to believe that anybody would be considering both of them. The 335 is considerably bigger, and, well…it just isn’t as sexy. The 135i is easily the most noticable car in any parking lot."

Perfect. Love it. New signature.

Just looked to see if I got flamed on the review's web site and I can't find it.

Hummmmm........
