What do you all think about the 135i? Been considering it, but not sure. Better than the g35 from what I have heard?

the750 · 04-01-2008, 10:24 AM

better in what ways? it is pretty small. well, very small. if you're talking performance, well that goes without saying. it has the 335i's engine in a lighter car. the 335i will blow a g35 away, and the 135 will blow the 335 away... so there ya go.

i don't personally like the looks of it, and i could not see myself driving anything smaller than my G. I would pick a 335i over it. but it is a nice little car and will fill a small niche for bmw.

They aren't bad looking but 750 is right, they are small. I was thinking of looking at one too but I think its worth it to get the 335....especially since I think the 335 looks better.

BTW 750, the 135 does not "blow away" the 335. Its about a .10 quicker to 60.....4.7 vs 4.8.

To compare: 135>G35 for performance, handling; G35>135 for value,reliability,sexiness; etc imo

I would like to see one in person but if I was going to buy a small BMW I would prob buy one of these..

It looks to be a great driver's car. That being said, and like 750 said, it IS tiny. Rear leg room is like 22" or something...suitable for kids or Weeman only. The pricing is another deterent; when optioned up to compare with the average G, you're well over 40K for what's basically a two seater.....hmmm!
