BMW 1 Series Coupe
 

The 135i sounds very interesting. Shame the rear end looks a bit strange. Maybe a good alternative to say a Golf R32?

Nice engine but it looks cr*p.

It looks a hell of a lot better than the ugly arse end of the 1 series hatch IMO

BMW had to make this car as round the track the Audi S3 was making the 130i look very silly indeed

Stop trolling AL ;)

I'm not a 1-series fan, but I LIKE that :)

Why would it make it look silly ? cant imagine there is much in it.

about 2.5 secs a lap faster round a DTM racetrack is the S3, over the R32 and 130i :D

God you are so boring.

That would be a worry if I ever visited any DTM tracks ?

I would sacrifice a little outright speed for the ability to slide it about a bit, Audi's are effective but a bit souless, I should imagine a 135i is a monster.

:sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep:

One has to question the point. Curerently the 1series chassis is only 100kg lighter than the equivelent engined 3 series chassis...which happens to be only 50kg lighter than the same engined 5 series chassis.

Perfect current examples is the 130i 3door vs. 330i coupe vs. 530i saloon.

So, performance-wise 135i won't be gaining that much more than what is already achieveable in the 335i

Altenative to a TT maybe. Surely the point of a Golf r32 or S3 or whatever is that they remain vaguely practical hatchbacks. That's just a slightly smaller funny-looking 3 series coupe as far as I can tell.

so are you. Only 13 posts since 2005 :lol1:
