135i press release (comes with bugg brrrrrakes and an mtech kit standard)

[mtechnik]

I think you can get it in 3-door or the coupe

Ahh that would be better

[Kruzen]

I think they should have left it as a hatch, and made a more agressive kit over the existing 130i one.

[Massive Lee]

its like 3100lb for the 3-door and around 2900 for the coupe.

If the coupe is 2900#, then a stripped one will probably go down to 2600# for track use, plus 100# for a cage. Not too bad for a car from the 20th century. Now let's remove all the rubber bushings and replace them with some stiffer material to improve feedback.

damn it has idrive...

It will be optional I'm sure. I can't see it coming standard in the 1er, when its not in the 3er.

[hugh jass]

lets just cut to the chase and you sell me yours before you even buy it and give me 6 grand cash. deal?

[Kruzen]

damn it has idrive...

i wonder how easy it will be to strip the shit out of it and get it down to like 2500lbs?

anyone know stock curb weight?

[Charlie]

my guess will be around 30k, if the 3 series is 50k

I wouldn't be surprised to see the 135 at closer to 37-40k. The base 128 will probably be 32.

I can see how you can feel disconnected from a car after driving my girlfriends 2007 GLI a lot, with its variable ratio electronic steering rack or whatever it has. But to be honest, you get used to it quickly and you don't realize it until you get back in your old car.

I like the 1ers a lot, everything but the enormous headlights. If they scaled them down 50% it'd do a lot for the car, but thats my only real gripe with it.

[delatlanta1281]

I agrre with the 335 motor statement. I have a friend with one who also ownes a late model e30 cab. He says it is like a video game when he drives the e90, not connected to it at all. Still fun as hell though.

[FredK]

Lee, I'm not sure how you know the expression on someone's face after getting a butt plug rammed up one's ass. But I agree with you. I don't like the styling of the 1er.

The car does not look proportional. Even if the car were slammed to the ground I think it'd still look too high for it's width. I like the E92 M3 and coupes fine.

The interior looks awesome though.

[Massive Lee]

Many 335i owners have complained how remote they feel from the engine. The engine sure is powerfull, but certainly not as "tight" as an S54. Many had deceptions. Certainly not the successor of the e30 M3. Not to be confused.

As a sidenote, the front of the car is so ugly, the headlamps look like the face of someone who just got inserted a butt plug. Oooomph...

[delatlanta1281]

My car is currently at 90k.
My company gives me a car allowance.
I cannot have a car over 90k.
October sounds good for me, how bout you guys.
