I think they were trying to keep pricing somewhat close.

 

Why? The base Cayman is already $15k more expensive.

 

I for one would love this car to be a reality, but if you check bimmerfile i think youll understand what im talking about.. C&D just posted acceleration figures.
C/D TEST RESULTS:

Zero to 60 mph: 4.7 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 11.5 sec
Zero to 140 mph: 25.6 sec
Street start, 5–60 mph: 5.5 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 13.3 sec @ 106 mph
Top speed (governor limited): 143 mph
Braking, 70–0 mph: 157 ft
Roadholding, 328-ft-dia skidpad: 0.89 g

thats stock, with crap run flats.

Now a more focused version of that would make buying an m3 stupid imo, especialy when reviews are out like this http://www.bimmerfile.com/2008/02/17...view-bmw-135i/
saying that the 135 is more fun to drive. IMO eibach springs, quality rubber, and a dinan tune would make this car a freak.


btw
aw 135 w/sport pkg on order here.....And now as it seems that the hype is true it might be the best decision of my life haha.

 

mine is on the way. AW as well the only thing that bothers me no lsd .....

 

I usually buy cars based on what sort of drift they can do...

 

BMW is crazy making such a cheap car so fast. Like the 335 faster than Z4M. Bizarro world over in Bavaria.

 

i dont think the 135 is that bad i think its a bad *** little car . i like the looks of it ... and when its modded beeing lighter then the 335 , its gonna be *** raping alot of cars.

porsche C4.... including your porsche c4 actually it will do it stock ..

 

I'll take the 135i please. I'm one of the few that don't mind its look.

 

Well, we only get the 1-series hatches over here, so that is damn ugly. The coupe is better looking, that's for sure.

 

I suggest you watch Geneva closely

call me stupid but isnt that the bmw performance parts we've been hearing/seeing for about for a month?

 

i want the 1 series as a side car.

 

It's an interesting car. Not quite a great daily driver, not quite exotic enough as a weekend only toy. A daily toy??? Hehe...
Good

 

also because german cars make great drifting cars!!!!! we should talk to the producers of those cheesey drifitng movies about putting a cayman with a towel hanger spoiler and a whole bunch of stickers in their next movie!

 

is the e-diff exclusive to the 1 series? in the movie it didn't look like the differential was acting any different than a standard, open differential. when jason plato flips the car around doing cookies, only one (the outside) tire spins.
