you are probably right. but do a search on a the vw golf (r32?) vs the 1 series from one of those briths car shows. i forget what the outcome was but i dont think they were overly impressed with the 1, i think mainly due to price.

 

yep they are bringing over the 1er from europe as a coupe only, its based on the e46 chassis. the 135i should be faster than the 335i.

 

I hear it's only 140 lbs lighter so we'll see. I was planning on jumping into a 335i once my lease is up in feb., but since the 135 is coming out i might have to jump on that, and save the extra money once I finish college.
