Sorry as an additional comment, I would have to agree that the car is a bit pricey. My dads listed at over £36K (with heated leather, xenons, professional nav and bluetooth). At that money it wasnt an awful lot cheaper than his very high spec 335d. In this light I can understand someone choosing a 335i over one of these.

I have to say though that the 135i is not the poor, cheaper relation to the 335i. It is every bit as well built and I think it suits people who want a smaller harder egded more driver focused car. I think the 335i is more GT than sports car (the 335d certainly was anyway) and I think the 135i has the 335i car over a barrel in that respect. It’s a different type of car for a different type of driver; both cars just happen to share the same engine.

My father has a 135i M Sport and I have to say it is superb. In the flesh is looks really muscular and I love the fact it has some real M car substance to it (6 pot brakes, electronic diff and special front bumper (sans fog lights) and rear spoiler). If BMW had decided to call it the M1, i think it would do the badging proud.

He has previously had an E46 M3 coupe and a 335d M Sport coupe, both very rapid cars and out of all of them he says the 135 is the best to drive and the quickest. He has also driven a new M3 coupe very hard and whilst the M3 is quicker, for the price difference there is not so much to choose between them

I’m a proud owner of the 135i convertable, white with maroon interior. It really is a ROCKET SHIP. My heart always race everytime i take her for a spin.

performance lover definitely choose 135i simply because better power-to-weight ratio. styling is a mixed bag, not elegant, buat more like toys.
but everyday user might choose 335i, because heavier means more comfort, and the styling more elegant, not like kiddo-thing.

I own a 335i coupe. I work at a MINI dealer and as many of you know is owned by BMW. I learned small cars equell big performance. So take it from me who owns the bigger 335i and loves it that the 135 is not a cheap down grade, it depends on what you want in a car. I will keep my 335 for now but anyone who rather spend there money on the 1, more power to you. That 1 must be tons of fun.

Yeah I know. It’s total bullshit. I got 0.9%APR on my 335i. I don’t get the logic.

I went to Global Imports in Atlanta to buy a 135i and I was told I could order one and get 0.9% apr. I wanted to get the base model without the bells and whistles and they don’t keep that at the dealer. Every 135i Ive seen has been upwards of $40,000 and I haven’t seen a 135i with a manual transmission yet. Then they said If I ordered one it would be a 2009 and I couldn’t get anything better than 6.99%apr. So I ended up getting a 2008 335i coupe with lots of options for the same price I would have ended up paying for a 2009 135i base model. The 335i has so much torque I can’t imagine that motor powering anything smaller. That 135i must be a monster. But I love my 335i, originally I thought it was out of my range but they are cutting serious deals on the 2008 335i right now.

So how can i compare these two…as an employee of BMW canada i have driven both the 335 and 135 upon their arrival to the streets of Vancouver and i will have to say that the 135 with the 6 speed, M short shifter is an amazing little car! what i did find when really driving hard was it handles better than the 335 thru turns due to weight and the wheel base. however as soon as applied the power it was almost like the car was to light and small to make full use of the twin turbo power. dont get me wrong it was great but i feel like a 135 should have an Xi option which would better accomodate the high power in a smaller car. reason i say this is beacause the a 335xi coupe is a way better use of the same engine compared to its rear wheel drive option. from driving both rear wheel drive 135 and 335 wheen the turbo power theres so much sudden power hitting the rear tires that they want to spin. of course the bmw traction control doesnt let you and in turn that grip and acceleration you;re looking for is dampened. you can fix this experience in a 335 but it wouldnt be as good if a 135 had all four powering this little pocket rocket. i’ve driven every M model BMW makes. the new V8 m3 is the best wothout comparison.BUT! M5, M6, and 760 drievn them and i was slightly let down i would rather have a tricked out 1 or 3 coupe!

Im a younger driver who dont get me wrong likes the 335 more. To me it just has a more sporty look with the two pipes cumin out of the back. I do like the one series but it doesnt strike me as to sporty. AND if you get the 1series with enough options (and convertible) your almost at the price of the 335 with decent options. So i think the 335 is better but thats just me.

well the 135i has the advantage of being lighter than the 335i but there is no doubt that the 335 has that sporty aggressive look and that double exhaust system roar we all love…and not to forget the 335i has a better rear end styling. Id say the 335i is for the younger mans crowd and the 135i for the younger female/hairdressers crowd…but the 135i is a good idea! just don’t compare it with the 335i

all this status talk made me forget to comment on the 1 and 3 series comparison…

I think the 1 series looks like a squished bug, perhaps the price would be ok, if the headlights were sexier, and the wheels 19 inch in size :)
oh yeah, perhaps if the car was 2 inches wider, that would also improve the look of this “Girlie” car.

to all you poor souls that think a BMW 328/335 Coupe is some status symbol, HA<……. HAHAHAAH…….. hAHAHAHAHAAH

a status symbol is something that few people can afford, how many 3 series BMW’s are sold in the USA? 80,000 ????
status my ass… more like a entry level around the town beater…

Now if any of you want status, might suggest getting a 6 series or 7 series BMW, or you might as well go for a Mercedes SL/CL/S class…… there, you will be surrounded by status then………

Very interesting reading all of your thoughts.I think that the 335 sounds more like the car that will fit my needs. I love the 530 that I got last year for my wife and I have been thinking about one for myself. I have decided to change from Porsche ,which I have driven for over 20 years, to a 335. The bottom line to me is the performance and dependability.BMW has proven that they have the confidense in their product to back it with the best warranty in the business. The 335 is the best of both worlds…comfort and sports. A convertible can’t be too shabby.

Other than being somewhat quicker, I don’t see the appeal of the 135. The 335 looks lower, wider, meaner and sleeker and has more room inside to boot. The price difference isn’t huge and the performance difference isn’t either for practical everyday usage.
