To be honest, it ain't any regular 135i... it's the M135i. It really is an awesome car.
I haven't been following BMW much lately, but I hope they bring those hatches over to the US (which is probably not going to happen)

Cant bother to register.. Not really sure which of the two cars who deserves the win.
If the price was 30.000 USD with all the stuff that is included in the M135I, I think many people on this forum would consider it a hard choice as well. If I could have two votes GT86 and M135I. GT86, it has the best recipe for a sports car. And should get credit for being made. Just being a fun balanced proper sports car at an affordable price in this day and age. Awesome! I don't need to go in detail about how good it is. BMW M135. People might disagree. But this car does it all, better than most! For what it is, its the bargain on the century! RWD, and great handling. Something which none of the competitors have (rwd) It blows away all its hot-hatch competitors in terms of straight line performance too. The engine is amazing, sounds amazing and is as fuel efficient as the 86 if driven nicely. Impressive engineering! Its way more practical, you can put 5 people in it. You can go to a shop, buy a dishwasher and probably throw it in the back. You can set the car in comfort and cruise along nicely without discomfort in a very nicely build cabin. If you want automatic transmission, its also on of the best in its class. If you want AWD, you can get of the best systems out there as well. There are no cars out there that does so many things that good, for such a low price. The M135I is really an overachiever in many compartments. I wish them both the best of luck. They both excel at what they were made for! |
