Not performance oriented, but I like the fact that there's padding between the rear seats instead of that tray

Looks amazing IMO.. except for the hood stripes...
This just helped me take a decision regarding my E46 M3, I'll just keep it until they make something like this!! You guys are harsh... They incorporated all that we want and put on our cars, wheels, carbon fiber, big brakes, alcantra racing ''type'' seats, shifter, spoiler, pedals, skirts, bumpers, exhaust, etc. If this was a member's 135, we would all be drooling over it. Now let's wait to see what they do with the drivetrain. BMW does not have the reputation of letting people down in that department...:headbang: |

I would take 150 lbs. of weight reduction, a mechanical LSD, some lighter rims, larger brakes, slotted/cross-drilled rotors, those seats, anthracite headliner, sunroof delete, and a mild tune to say 350hp from the factory for less than $45K plz!

Noticed but not mentioned in the text (I admit I got tired of reading, though):
1. Sits lower = stiffer springs? Stiffer roll bars? 2. Wider front wheels (like'em) and tires = less understeer. Yeah! 3. drilled/slotted brake rotors.

It's just a DESIGN CONCEPT, people. You don't get any details about suspension, engine, etc because they're not important at this time. It is a litmus test for STYLING to see if the public gives it a thumbs up or down.
However, it is an indicator that BMW perhaps intends to do a hotter 1-series variant that will not be available in the spring. Whether it's an M1 or a 135tii is TBD. I would however expect lower and stiffer suspension and *maybe* slightly different engine/exhaust tuning. |

That is not a BMW assigned date, but my date I want to pick up the car. We'll see.

I don't like to spend too much on cars, and on the 135i I am quite sure I would have to spend up to 4k in wheels/tires and suspension. ....I have only changed brake pads on my E46 M3 ZCP, and tires when they were worn out. ( thats 12K miles for the rears...) |

Bingo...my big worry is the delay in getting the aftermarket up to speed, however I'm hoping one of my 2 big concerns (engine and suspension) will be very quick because of the 335 sharing the same engine and having been out for a while (too bad the exhaust isn't the same...) |
