No suprise here. EVERYtime I press that starter button, I am reminded of exactly why I bought a 135i, and why I added the BMW Performance Exhaust. Next stops - BMW PS and Quaife LSD for a real trip!

It's nice reading this after all the bone-headed comments on the AW article.
If you didn't notice, there's also a section where they break down vehicles by class, and the 1er came in first in the coupe category (the 911 was number 2!). |

Agree. My 135i is the 7th BMW product my wife and I have owned over the past ten years. I look forward to driving it every single day. |

I think most of the voters for WhatCar were referring to the non 35i version of the 1er... It's only North Americans that are so obsessed with big engine... and thus a lot of the premium features are only available on the 35i, forcing even more people to buy the big engines...
This is probably why reliability didn't bog down the responses |

The article doesn't mention anything about "overall reliability"...although my 1er HAS been very reliable...
I know you've been very vocal about your problems, but it's possible that you are an outlier, and not indicative of the general ownership experience. Just a thought... |

I just took delivery of my new 135i today and I can't stop smiling! It's a wonderful car. Pure BMW.

In fact, probably the majority of cars sold from any manufacturer here are diesels, just judging by what one encounters on the road. |

I love driving my car, except in the snow, that sucks, lol. But thats not the car's fault, Mother Nature is just a bitch.
I have 2 favorite parts, pressing the Start button on a cold start (I'll even roll the window down in the cold weather just to hear it), and that feeling of getting pressed into the seat when I hit the gas. Something my last 2 cars failed miserably at. Oh, forgot one, when coasting at speed and barely tapping the gas to hear the exhaust garble. Oh, heaven. |

Jason, BMW makes a 3 series. That is what I think you are looking for.

The car warms up really quickly, has heated seats and mirrors, great defrosters, and doing donuts in the snow is a lot easier on the tires. What's not to like?

Before the my 1er I had a GTi, which was an awesome car. But the 135i is a beast!

I think I'm headed down that path, God willing. Right now, I cannot see myself without a BMW as a daily driver.
