I think that there is more to it than that. Although I expect the 135i to be generally cheaper than a 335i coupe, I do see some advantages over the 3er. It's smaller and hopefully more tossable, it's lighter and therefore possibly faster with better economy, it has better brakes and probably better suspension, and for some it looks better.
Does this mean that it will cost more than a 335i? Although I can see a decently equipped 135i costing more than a stripper 335i sedan, it obviously won't cost more than a decently equipped 335i coupe unless you live in Bizarro World. :iono:
So far I prefer a 135i M Sport to a 335i coupe, but if they were the same price I would probably just choose none of the above. YMMV.
