According to your logic on 135i pricing, the MINI Cooper S should have been way more expensive than it was. Let's face it, the MINI was a very unique car with loads of standard features, world class performance & BMW design/quality. I think everyone would now agree that the "S" was a very good performance value, as long as you didn't go crazy with the options. |

If you want an EVO, then buy it. The 135i is not after that market. The only thing similiar with those 2 cars is possible the acceleration. BMW is a premium brand, Mitsubishi is not! -Garrett |

To give you a comparision, my buddy cant understand why I would choose an X5 4.8 for double the price over what he has, a Trailblazer SS. Yeah his car is faster and has a vette engine, but its a 4spd piece of crap, that already has transmission problems, and the entire interior looks and sounds like a giant loose piece of rattling plastic. |

It comes down to the level of engineering into each part. People think because 2 cars have the same look and shape they are similiar, yet they don't understand or hold value in the non-tangibles, ie smothness, ride quality and impeccable maintenance. They just do know, so they place no value in those things. Again, BMW's DNA is hard to leave. Drive a BMW for a few years then go buy another car, chances are you will be comming back to BMW in a few years, there is just something about the over-all driving experience. The perfect balance, the handling! -Garrett |

And of course a BMW is better than a Chevy, no real revelation there. |

BMW wants to sell lots of these cars! I've been following the 1 series story right from the very beginning, I cant' remember ever once reading anything about this be a limited production car. I think some people are confusing this 135i "M Sport" marketing crap, with true "M cars", and even they are not limited to a certain number of cars for the most part. Perhaps you got this info from the same guy who gave you the pricing scoop before anyone else in the country! |

sorry I should have qualified my post.....G37 Journey with premium (to me that's loaded) and thats it...I do business with one of the biggest Infiniti dealers in S Fla, so I 'expect' to pay no more than $500 over invoice....wont be a problem since the car will already have been selling for well over a year at the time of purchase, 8/08.....besides my relationship with the dealer, Infiniti hyperventilates over repeat business like no other brand......

sorry, I disagree with you.....both of those cars lack the refinement and, for lack of a better term, "panache' of any BMW |

^^^ the awd turbo cars are NOT just for going straight on dry pavement... I'd buy a c6 zo6 if thats all there was...
I'm worried about when it comes time to snow... (not a worry for your guys in the warmer areas) The Evo's and STI's are animals in that stuff with just all-seasons. I know when I'm on-call, and need to get into the hospital in crap weather, there are absolutely no worries in my STI. My buddy in his 3 series at times struggles with good snows (nokians)... |

The way I see it is simply this...
328i coupe's start at like 35k 335i coupe's at like 40k 5k difference. Very likely we'll see the same split on the one series. I'm thinking 30 max is the starting price on the 128i, thus 35 on the 135i. |

The 135i seems to fall in between alot of classes and therefore I think can be put into those classes of cars. |
