"all the 135 wants is to go fast, very, very, fast". Not much behind the M3, plus, no surprise. I've driven the M3, fast, furious, large, no thank you. Am I the only one, who isn't bored with the chick-car comparison? Some cultural thing?:iono: Off-base? Just asking...

GREAT POST!
The "chick car" label is being stuck on this car purely because of it's size. The lines of the car are NOT feminine at all,....neither is the sound of the engine, or the performance that comes w/ it. Maybe all the guys calling this a chick car have some insecurities about themselves, or what they drive? Just a guess? Color might have alot to do with it as well. They tested a sedona red 1er,....mine is BSM, and Ive never had anyone say it looks like a chick car.

I'd rather have a "chick car" that goes like the clappers, than some bloated V8 monster that can't corner and falls apart. (not referring to the M3)

I think the chick car stuff comes from the fact that it's at the bottom of the model range. Smallest bmw (besides the z's, of course), cheapest bmw, etc. Who else would buy such a car besides a woman? Men buy the bigger more expensive cars.
It's a bit misogynistic. |

I wonder if it was also the color. Sedona isn't as macho as say BSM. Still, high praise for our 1 and these guys can get brutal with cars. I mean I've seen them physically abuse cars they don't respect.
