Nice...but we need your comparison. Handling, fit/finish, motor differences, etc.

I enjoy the 1 series more than than 3. Better handling first off. It's like driving a go-kart compared to the 3. The 335i had the n54 which produced a louder "spool" soound from the turbos. Also the interior was more plush on the 3. But I prefer the 1. It is a true driver's car. No vanity stuff, just raw driver performance. I'm loving the 135i. Much better handling and acceleration than the 3 series since it is obviously lighter and more nimble. Funnest car to drive ever!

I'm on the fence with going for a 1m rep bumper. I really like the aggressive look, but scared of poor fitment. Of course it's PP material, so the body shop can always sand and fit it flush. What don't you like about the 1m rep bumper?

congrats!! you will love the 135

houtan · 02-18-2014, 11:11 PM

Rear diffuser looks good. How was the fit when you installed it?

Fitment was 9 out of 10...minor sanding to get a more flush fit. But overall I'm happy with the end result.

houtan · 02-19-2014, 12:15 AM

Cool. Thanks for the feedback.

BavarianN54 · 02-19-2014, 01:26 PM

Nice looking car OP. it's not much of a difference in size but the 135 does feel more scalpel like in the turns than the 335. The shorter wheelbase gives the 1 a little more of a choppy ride but its a small tradeoff for what you get in return. A bit quicker( given the same mods) doesn't hurt either. Enjoy.

Thanks! Yea definitely enjoying the handling on the car. At first I wasn't too fond of the design compared to the 3 but it grew on me quick! Now I truly am a 1addict!

Single exhaust tip is something different. Functional, I like it!

Great start with the mods, looking forward to seeing it with a performance bumper.
