    Lots of power, steering is fast, very quiet interior and suspension is firm but still compliant. The shifter throw is way too long but positive engagement. I kept missing 3rd and going from 2nd to 5th. For a daily driver, I would definitely pick this over the Evo. It is nimble and makes the 335i feel like a boat by comparison.

    But damn is it expensive! The 135i is $40K sticker with very few options. You're looking at $45K fully equipped! This is way more than a Evo X GSR-SSS. The dealers will not work on the price either. 135 coupes are not common - they have a ton of convertibles but not many manual coupes.

    Kinda torn... the 135i has bust my JDM bubble.
    DAM! 40k+ for a 1 series!?
    $40k for a shitsubishi :shock:
    Eat me

    Ughh I lasted about 10 seconds of that vid. Just something about listening to loud mouth New Yorkers talk about cars that I can't stand... :?

    I test drove a 135i a couple weeks ago as well. Too bad it was Auto, but even then I was very impressed. The sales person told me to beat the car like I stole it. Getting on the onrsmp, the DSC was kicking in. I'm considering one, but the 3 series has 0.9% for 60 months which is making it a tough choice.
