M1 is coming aka Modified M135

[///e30freak]

At that price (60k) I can't imagine why one would choose an M variant over upgrading a stock 135. N54 aftermarket is sick.
personally I'd take the 250hp N52. 1er not made for the track. ever.

Call me when they bring the 123d hatch to America.

QFT. I'll take a modded turbo diesel over all, too bad 330d is so expesive. I wish I didn't hate late model VW's with a passion as well.

Go look at a map. See that section of the US that resides between the states that border water? Yea. There. Houses aren't that expensive outside of the east/west coast.

yeah stock they are not that powerful. But that motor is basicly an mitsu evo motor. there is already a big market for it. and for 14k less i rather have the Korean car. though I rather get the 3.8 and turbo it.



for your information, I said light and sporty, not it is lighter. douchebag.

Obviously counting is not your forte.

Genesis 2.0T 3294 lb, $22,000
135i 3373 lb, $36,050

+1 for you cocksucker.

[tjts1]

2700lbs and $3000 as in the avg weight/cost of most guys e30's
on here dip shit. Sometime you gotta engage the brian, and think a little. Not everything can be spoon fed to you.

Drugs are bad.

Proof that drugs are bad.

more weight then 135i!!!!!!

135i 3373 lb, $36,050

[z31maniac]

Yeah, less HP and more weight then 135i!!!!!!

I'd be all over one except for the weight. Even the 2.0 R-spec or whatever is still going to be in 3300lb range with only 210hp.

That's pretty fucking lame in my opinion.

[88driftIS]

if you want swomething light and sporty that doesn't cost a shit load, buy a Genesis. lol

it even looks better.

[bimmer_E30]

E46 is where new bmws end for me.

[blunttech]

Meh, am I the only one not really impressed with the 135i? (yes, I have driven it twice).
S54 M Coupe or V8 M3 for me over 135i/m.

nope you are not. i drove the 135i for an hour at o fest beating it senseless.
its numb and pig heavy. i didnt like it at all

[einstein57]

3300 pounds is not lite. Hell the e60 530i weighs 3400lbs. So why does a car that is way smaller with far fewer options weigh the same.

[tjts1]

Also, BMW is never going to make a 2700 pound $3000 car

Proof that drugs are bad.

[kishg]

3k as in < 3000 lbs.. where the hell did $3k come from? even hyundai isnt that cheap :)

[BeirBrennerE30]

Also, BMW is never going to make a 2700 pound $3000 car, like most seem to bitching about on here. Get over it and welcome to the current century. They build cars for the masses not e30 enthusiasts. It’s a premium brand whose core market demands premium options and the price reflects that. People just are not interested in light weight low option cars. People want a car with cup holders, dual climate, etc etc etc, and last but not least LOTS of safety features that add weight and $$$ to the cost of a car. Welcome to automobiles of the 21 century folks. I think it looks like a great car and I was very impressed with the 135i when I’ve driven them. Is it an e30? Of course not. But its truly one of the best cars in its price point on the market for combo daily/tracking. This M/Tii version looks to be outstanding.

AMEN... Just look at what e30s cost new. Would you seriously go to a dealer and pay $49k(30k in 1990 is ~49k today) for a e30 325is when you could have a LOADED 135i for 5k less. I love the e30 but even if it came standard with an s52 I would be hard pressed to buy a new one over a 135i.
