I haven't seen a thread around here about this peppy new car, so i thought i would make one just for conversation/debate sake. I went and looked at them today and did a test drive. Afterwards the salesman and i got to talking and he said if i wanted one it wouldnt be able to come in until august! overall they are really nice and much roomier/bigger in person.

discuss!

 

I don't like the way she looks regardless of how fast she is. That's what I think about her.

 

i felt the same way until i saw them in person. they looked much more serious and less cute in person.

 

I drove her too.:wink: I definitely wouldn't mind driving or toying with one but as in buying or leasing a 1 series, no I'd much rather have a CPO E92 335i for the same price.

 

ya that is a good deal too, but since the M has come out the reg e92 has started to bore me a little with its side profile. i know im prob alone on that one, but im relatively young and the e92 just seems a little too grown up for my tastes. im looking for something that looks and feels a little more agile. plus i have always had much love for the old 2002 bmw's.

 

There is a thread about this car in Automotive News...do we need to really start a thread in Car Talk for every vehicle?

I'll leave this open for a bit more to see what comes out otherwise, I'm sorry...but, -time.

 

looks like shit, but 0-60 in 4.7 is nice.

 

Dictator.

 

You can call me Chairman Cha.

 

i apologize i didnt look in detail there. i thought that section was reserved for actual news, not just discussion.

 

Looks like bigfoots dick after he tried cramming it in 03CLpunishers queer anus.

 

Naw, I'm not really coming down on ya...just kinda thinking outloud so to speak. But, anyhow, here's the thread: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...light=1-series


I'll see what my mood is later...who knows, a merge even?

 

If it was an Aston thread Yummy wouldn't have said a thing.

 

hehe

 

I used to love Astons but now i just tired of hearing the name.

I like the 135i, well the headlights still bother me.

 

I used to like Aston's, robots and movies too.

 

I used to like people and the human race

 

Great, now hes gonna come in here and bash superman and praise batman. Nice job Dom!!

 

I'm thinking the 135 would make an excellent CPO weekend toy. I need a back seat for my boys.

 

Honestly, the market is pretty bad and the resale of the 335i isnt doing so great.

I'd rather get a slightly used 335i.. which would be cheaper than a new 135i anyways.

 

But if you like to autocross or what not, the 135 is better suited...

 

 

 

Seen few at the track in action. Sweet ride!

 

the side molding looks really huge

 

can you give me more detail on 335i resale part? So, not worth buying new 335i? I have been thinking about getting a 335i this fall or winter....

 

My only complaint on the car is the weird saggy belt line on the side of the car, and the headlights, other than that it's not so bad.

The 335i Coupe shits all over it though IMO, so 335i Coupe ftmfw!

 

135i : good idea, bad execution

like people have said before, the numbers are great but the car just looks funny to me.

 

 

on the topic of ordering BMWs.... The salesman specifically said that if i wanted one it wouldnt be until late july/early august that i would be able to get it.

question to you bmw owners...how true is that? this dealer was pretty small, so if i went to a larger bmw dealer would their answer be any different, or is that pretty much the standard for a new model bmw?

thanks.

 

I've put some serious consideration into a 135. I like small cars and I don't think it looks bad at all, especially in light colors, like posted above. Plus you can't argue with the performance. You're basically getting a E46 M3 for 35K+.

 

Hatchback or no sale!

 

When i ordered my 335i the production slots were filled up for few months. Im talking PRODUCTION slots, where even after the car is finished there, it still takes few weeks to get to the dealer.

I got lucky and found a slot that a guy had canceled and changed his order. Even then it took me 10 weeks to get my car. That was even a year after the car was released!

If the dealer is small then maybe they filled up their allocations too fast. Try finding a bigger dealer and see what they say. Either way, it still takes 6-8 weeks to get the car after ordering it.

Nice feeling knowing a car is being built just for you though.

 

I still think its worth buying a new 335i only because BMW is offering 3.9% on 08 models. BMW hardly ever offers any specials rates on new! Or you can find a loaded 335i with 10k miles for under $35k easily.

The car market just stinks in general. You can get some amazing deals on all different makes and models.

 

I only saw one, never test drove it cuz the sales man was an asshole but I cant believe that they are over 50k with some options. thats a bit too much for 135 I think. starting price was 43 or 44 I believe and then you slap 1 option and boon you ae on 50 or over with interest of 6% it just isnt worth it.

 

i still haven't even seen a 1 series on the road yet here.

 

Too heavy, too expensive... if the dollar wasn't in the shitter and the bmw could have priced it better it might be a bit more attractive...

I might rock a used 1-series in a few years tho...

One thing the 1-series did is revitalize the small RWD coupe market... 1-series, Genesis Coupe, Toyota/Subaru rumors, etc etc make for more options which is always better for the consumer...

 

The 135i to me is like the super hot girl's slightly shorter and plumper sister.

She may not have the eye-candy pop of her older sibling, but she's more fun in the sack.

I've only seen a couple around here...

It looks better IRL IMHO...

 

i doubt it if they'll ever release the hatchback here.
