The 135i is going to be anything but an economy car.

The 1 series is going to be what the 3 series *should* be, and what they were in the 80's/90's.

it is going to be called the 1 series, and bmw says it should out perform the Cayman s in almost every category (0-60, track, 1/4 mile etc.). I guess the size is almost equivalent to that of the e30's

Too bad it'll be much heavier than an E30.

There is a 1 series already in Europe for 4 years. Where have you guys been? They won't rename the 3 series. They will just start importing the 1 series cars in the States...

I was thinking of buying a 335 or a Boxster in a couple of months but a 135 put hings on hold, if it comes out with the twin turbo engine is going to smoke other cars that have a higher price.
