NEW TO 1ADDICTS

HI MY NAME IS PAUL AND I AM LOCATED IN TORONTO. DEPOSIT HAS BEEN PLACED ON 135I. DEFINITELY GOING FOR THE BLACK ON LEMON AND LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS. YOU GUYS GOT A GOOD THING GOING HERE AND HOPEFULLY NEW PICS WILL BE ADDED AS THEY COME ALONG. HERE IN CANADA I TALKED WITH MY DEALER AND PROBABLY LOOKING AROUND 46 K FULLY LOADED FOR THE 135I. MY ONLY CONCERN WHEN GETTING THIS CAR IS THE INSURANCE. ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA IF THIS THING WILL BE HIGH.........? GIVEN THE TWIN TURBO ENGINE. ITS ALOT WORSE IN CANADA THAN IT IS IN THE US BELIEVE ME.

lol nobody likes the caps eh. 46 thousand is what they think will be the price fully loaded ( i drive, leather etc....). I would think that on the road this thing will probably get up to 48 thousand. If this is the case i'm better off getting the 328i coupe. My dealer called me yesterday and told me that they're bringing a 135 in for everyone who has a deposit down on the car to test drive. By that time there will be accurate pricing as well. What do you guys think 135 or 328????

Im also located in Toronto, the prices will be higher here so i don't think you need to worry that much. Jet Black on coral red is amazing my friend just got a 328 coupe like that it's beautiful. Thats really why i'm going for lemon.

Welcome to the boards paulitalia, as far as choosing a 135 or 328 well to me it's not even a choice. Given the performance aspect which is pretty important to me I would (and I am) look at either a 135 or a 335. The 328 is not an option given the lower performance numbers. That being said you have to go with what is most important to you. A fully optioned 1 will outperform the 328 while the 328 will likely have less equipment for the same price.

I'll be honest and lay my cards down on the table. The 135 i know will outperform the 328. My friend just got one (328)and the only thing that bothers me (lookin for help on this one) is that the 135 i will have the reputation of being a 1. obviously you can't care about what others think but it'll definitely be a bother to see a 128 or 135 when you turn your head any which way. you really don't wanna have people saying "Another 1" <---- no pun intended lol. the 328 and 335 is a bigger classy/sporty car.

I understand your dilema as it seems you are looking for a sporty car vs. a sports car. Coming from a G35 coupe I was very interested in the 335 coupe, but unfortunately it is just way overpriced IMO. That being said I saw pictures of the 1 and thought wow this everything the 335 is, but for a fraction of the price (assuming pricing is in the mid 30's). That being said I doubt you will see one on every corner, atleast not right away.

IMO go for the 135.....

Lips, I totally agree with your last post as a G owner.......I think the 335 coupe is wayyyy overpriced .....

IMO i dont think the 1 will be considered a stripped down, or cheap BMW.....logically, is a 3, currently the least expensive (most models) of the BMW line, considered stripped down?

The 135 will (hopefully) be a niche, enthusiast vehicle, and a kick ass one at that.....if it wasnt for the 135, BMW wouldnt even be on my radar (no offense guys) simply because performance versions of the 3 and 5 series are beyond my budget (40k)

Think about it, who's going to buy a 135?....families - nope too small, older empty nesters- nope, not while theres the 3 series, college students - nope, too expensive. yuppie singles - yep. enthusiasts - yep. families as a second car to the SUV- yep(moi).....I mean, theres a significant and substantial part of the car driving community (especially here in S FLA if you know what i mean) who would reject the 135 merely because it's a coupe

IMO I dont think it's a stretch to assume that the 135 will have as much appeal to the broad spectrum of drivers as the 3 does.....thats a good thing for us though....

also, 3 series BMWs are as common as liver spots on the old folks down here in S FLA....every soccer mom, yuppie, pseudo intellectual, house poor car rich, penny stockbroker,etc has one....i kid you not

My bet is the 135 will be far rarer a sight than the ubiquitous 3 series on our roads.....< price does not = > popularity.....

I have to dissagree with alot of what you people are saying. The BMW 335i is not overpriced, matter-of-fact I think it's a steal at $45k.

You cannot ask for more in a car, the level of luxury plus performance cannot be had elsewhere. The car is so god damn smooth it's just sickening, like all BMW's. You never have to step into the pedal to feel you spent your money well, but when you do... It never stops!


The 1 series will be built to BMW standards, but the quality of the leather and several key components will be cheaper, to reduce the cost for it's target audience.

I do not want to stereotype, but it does seem like the majoity of the members here are very young (I'm 37) and are just getting their feet underthemselves and looking to move out of the cheap import sector of the car market. It's a stepping stone we have all made, but not to be able to recognize a great car (BMW 335i) or to somehow fool yourself that it's overpriced, thus more conforting to buy the 135i isn't being honest with oneself!

Some will argue a fully loaded 135i @ $40k is overpriced. I call it a steal.

To each his own, I guess!:wink:
