for the most part I think they are right when it comes to the headlights on the 1. They are a bit buggy. But driving down a road and you pass a 1 and a 3 coming around a bend, the 1 looks hott and the 3 seems buisness-like IMO. I like the 3's headlights and lower profile tail lights most of all. but thats all.
A minor drop, and tinted windows w/ some nicer rims on the 1 really make it pop.

and maybe some ambergones .. lol.

As i recall, When i was at the dealer last time I was talking to a guy that had a 335 that wished he had gotten the 135. Ive heard similar story from another guy as well that has a 3.
Never heard regrets from 1 series owners.

comotu1 · 09-03-2009, 07:48 PM

The people bashing the 1 series are all concerned about the looks. Although the looks of a car comes into play when deciding on a car. However, everyone is entitled to his/her opinion about the 1 or 3.
My thing is get in where you fit in. However, the people bashing the 1 obviously has not driven the 135. Because when compared to the drive in the 335, IMHO, the 135 is wayyyyy better than the 3....

AGREED.. When test driving a 335 vs. a 135 It was a big dif. I had to actually make a conscious effort remembering to breath when driving the 135 down a windy road. The 335 didnt do the trick on the same road. Its what sold me on the 1.

I think the 3 Series is beautiful, especially the M version but I'll take the same drivetrain in a lighter, smaller package everytime.

I had the same reaction. I drove the 335 then the 1 and the 3 was nice but the 1 was more fun. I know people knock it for the looks but I think that is because they regret getting the 3. 335is are a dime a dozen around me and I rarely see 135's I think in the last 6 months I have seen exactly 4 and maybe 100 335's. My friend joked that the 1 lookd like a shoe and said he was tempted to go get his shoe shine kit for me.lol He is also a Honda s2000 but swinger though.

I would like the 335/328 coupes more if they were faster than the 1 (and not so common), but since they are actually slower and more expensive, it makes for an interesting choice. For me, it was substance over style.

driftdriven · 09-03-2009, 08:56 PM

My opinion,

1) 1er is more sporty; in terms of handling and fun factor
2) 3 is big and long not what I wanted
3) there are too many 3 on the road and is played out
4) who the F cares???

I like my 1 better than any 3 but if I chose a 3 I would say the exact opposite.

bmwzone · 09-03-2009, 09:08 PM

I don't even look at 3's. Seriously. Might as well be a Mercedes.

I'd look at a nice VW R32, Camaro, or Mustang way before a 3.

1LazyBmw · 09-03-2009, 09:13 PM

Read all the posts on that thread.. not even going to comment and be ignorant like those guys over there.. just enjoy what you have and next time a 3 series or M3 is beside me and blow them away ill just smile.. enough said

AlBel1214 · 09-03-2009, 09:13 PM

hahahhaa.. the one guy compared it to a miata b/c of the "looks"...

unreal... what clowns

kingnonis · 09-04-2009, 02:40 PM

If one doesnt like the headlights one can put some eye lids to make the look "meaner"...no biggie. I did on mine and love the way they look on the car, I love it. IMHO a 3 series coupe is a mom car, no offense to anyone out there w/ an e90, they are nice cars...just not my bag (rather my mom's bag). I had an E46 before my 1er and you simply cannot compare THAT 3 series' beautiful looks with the tugboats the current 3 has become. Plus the 1 is faster. Plus the 1 is rare on the streets. The 1 is everything a 3 series should be but stopped being circa 2006.

infinitekid2002 · 09-04-2009, 03:15 PM

3 looks more elegant...i got no problems with that...i like my car more coupe-ish and less gt style and with our car being a bit lighter it was no choicee for me...but i'd take a 3'er if there was no 1'er

Ditto, the savings account that paid for my down payment on my 1er was originally opened for a future 3er. The rest is history

135 exhaust has a nice deep growl to it. Some say it is better than the 335 snarl but I still love the 335 dual exhaust. It makes all the difference.

Dual-exhaust would make the 135 more of a man's car IMHO.

That's what one of them posted. I'm not an expert about cars, but doesn't the 135i have dual-exhausts?

Almost, but right before the muffler, the two pipes merge into one.

They forget though, 2 full exhaust systems are heavier than our 1
