Anyone got any thoughts on this car - apart from the fact that it's neither the most beautiful nor the most ugly car around.

My thought process was provoked by Clarkson's review in the Sunday Times the week before last.

Most journos seem to like it, which is probably a good reason not to get one.

Sniff Petrol has a good take on it http://www.sniffpetrol.com/wp-content/uplo...adbmw1coupe.jpg

If the 130's are anything to go by, the 135i will be 22k after 6 months.

6 months doesn't bother me. I tend to buy for the longer term, 335 looks better but is

See, I'm not a bmw fan (far from it!) but the 335 makes a lot of sense in many ways, not necesarilly my cup of tea but I see why people like them but the 135 I just don't. Why not just buy the 335?
