I'm not calling anyone a liar but I don't believe it. maybe there is some error in communication somewhere. the difference in a 135i Msport coupe and 335i Msport coup in Europe is around 17% so to bring it here and only have a 7% difference. I don't buy it and I hope I'm right. I do have to say I'm not to pigheaded enough to think there is no way it could be true though. with the worth of the dollar and everything you never know. but that price would kill the car.:iono:

For only a 3K difference I'll go look for a used 335i BUT, I won't panic until november...I'm just gonna sit back and wait patiently. BMW knows a small car (318) won't succeed in the US unless it's a very good deal. If it (135i) was priced in the lower 30K range, they couldn't keep them on the showroom floor and sell every one of them. For 38K for a turbo car, I'd hit a new STi or EVO. Totally different cars, I know, but I'm just sayin.

Hey, guys, I just talked to be ex-wife's brother-in-law whose friend works at an Audi dealer that competes with the BMW dealership across the street and he said that the 135i was going to cost more than the 335i because of all the M stuff!
All of this is completely irrelevant until something with BMW letterhead is released saying the figures are x for a 128i and y for a 135i. If if happens to be only three grand cheaper than the 335i, then BMW failed miserably.

I don't mean to doubt anyone's credibility on here, but it seems pretty odd that this breaking news item is posted by someone who has never posted before, & someone like TheUltimateDriver, who just dropped a crapload of top secret product info on us the other day does not know about this?

heck, the other day the wife was telling me that a guy form bmw was telling her how dealerships would only be getting about 20 1'ers each for the first year, to "keep demand high", and how they were going be like $28 k (cdn) for a 128...and blah blah blah...
It's all fluff to me until I see something direct for BMW saying "pricing will be..." Until then, I'm going to keep sticking it out. |

Well he told me they met with the NA rep today to discuss what the pricing was going to be. I dont think he would make that up, because he knows he will be losing a sale if thats the case. Weve been down this road before with BMW. It wont suprise me one bit if thats the only difference.

see this goes along with what i was originally saying....
37K for the 135 and a dramatic difference to the 128 ( 26ish ) I just think the 135i will be looked as an "M" car in a way. A more driving experiance then the 335i. Hence, more expensive. |

I would have to concur that a 3,000 difference will not be enough. Not calling anyone a liar but someone has to be mis-informed.

Awesome thread. I, for one, want to humbly thank, nea, applaud(!), the OP for taking the time to conscientiously register to inform us of an impending injustice BMW NA is about to inflict upon us. Humanity prevails at awkward times. :sniff:
P.S. The sky is falling. |

If it is going to be that expensive I am going to have to find a used 330ci
The only thing we can do is to wait and see (hear something posted from the BMW website) I called BMW a few days ago and the guy told me if he were to make a prediction the 128 would be in the high 20s and the 135 in the low 30s BUT who knows, let's just wait and see... |
