I dont see what BMW’s goal is in making two cars so similar to eachother?

I was hoping they would make it a 4cyl. turbo or diesle (wasnt there plans for a 1 series diesle?)

It depends on whether or not your editor in chief will be posting pics or not

The 335i if there are any kids and wives or just girlfriends. Bigger is all really.

But if this is a pleasure car for driving and driving fast, 135i even though its only somewhat lighter its still much faster. And given its weight reduction, the power gains seen with the 335i will only be greater with the same aftermarket parts on the 135i.

335i, bigger is better.

Of course the 335i, it’s roomier, I hate the rear wheels though. they are too small for the car, they should be wider.

The 335i hands down. I really like how that coupe looks. The 135i looks stubby and a little immature for a BMW. I would spend the extra money and get the convertible and have a versatile car that provides the security of a hard top.

^^^^ woops typo….Lexus’ does NOT make a car that drives like a BMW.

Gotta have a real manual trans to do that. You have to be able to drive a stick shift to know the difference.

335i Coupe.

Just like Jan said. The 135i is not light enough or cheap enough to make a considerable difference.

The 335i is better looking, even though I like the 135i look.

I own a 335i and have no regrets. It’s more than fast enough. I’ve had two M3s and this is a better street machine with a more streetable motor. Big usable torque down low on the tach, like a V8.

As far as roma says about the Lexus….what a joke. They do make a car that drives like a BMW. They are like Japanese Audis, and Benzs.

BMW bashers are not informed.

The Year of The One!
The only benefit of the 3-series is the available sedan and other body styles.
Less cost, less weight, more exclusive, more fun!

Definitely the 335 if I had to choose. 135 looks like a toned down and younger version of the 335.

335 looks like that twin turbo belongs under the hood.

P.S. anyway to get that top banner of the 135 and 335 in high res?

The 335i actually. The 135i is too small, not enough weight reduction and actually costs more per month to lease.

I wouldn’t buy either. I would personally buy a Lexus instead.
