I dunno if i'd say cheap. a loaded up 135 is over 40k i just built one on bmwusa.com

And all this forced induction is in response to mercedes going hp crazy the past few years. That and trying to get better fuel economy w/out sacrificing performance.

Why? Because cars can't be judged on price/performance.

If you want best performance for your money, you wouldn't buy a 135i, other cars on the market would wipe the bimmer's *** for less money...

The only fair comparison would be 135i against Cayman S... conclusion would be: Cayman is better but you'll have to cough up a lot more if you want a real sports car.

You can say whatever you want but a BMW 1 isn't a sports car! The fact that I don't like the looks at all is not even relevant here.
