White 135i Coupe with 19" CSL's anyone?



With no expensive M servicing, and much cheaper running costs this could be good!
Looks really good if you ask me!! I think these could make an interesting purchase when the cars are 2-3 years old as there are bound to be some tuning packages available for the x35i engine. Imagine that little puppy with circa-350bhp! Lack of LSD might be a big problem though - wonder how much it would cost to get an aftermarket one fitted?

Hartage already do a tuning pack for the 335

The finished version will be 380 hp and they include an LSD

The complete kit is

The Hartage 335 at 50k as you say doesn't make much sense!

My point was more that a hartage "type" 135 could be good in a few years time as suggested by Saxo Boy.

A few modifications on a heavily depreciated 2-3 year old 135 could release silly horsepower and potentially be faster than an M3

Saxo - 135i has an virtual LSD... not sure what it does, but seems like a half way house between nothing and a real LSD.
