I have been reading about these new tt 6 cylinder engines from BMW that I've heard are very much under rated. I have also read about the 135 handling extremely well. Here's a write up about the car.



The 135i Convertible, on sale later in 2008, features BMW

 

i heard its going to weigh a lot, so who knows.

 

The coupe is going to be 3373 lbs. From looking at the difference between the 335i Coupe and 335i Convertible, I'm assuming about 250 lbs will be added to the convertible 135 making it around 3600 lbs.

 

The 135i coupe will be around 3200lbs, the UK wieghs in more factors in their spec sheets then the US... With equal drivers on a road course I think they would both equal out or the 135i will pull a bit more due to hp it has.

I'm on the fence with getting a 135i...The online BMW build your 135i goes online the 16th of this month so depending on the price with the options i want we'll see then...





but i want it with red interior


^ drop top 135i btw

 

I'v e read the suspension is the same as the M3 or very similiar to it. Looks like it'll be a nice little car but I've also read that they don't have a LSD. BMW is using their traction control instead and claiming it does a good job of mimicking LSD. If it doesn't have a LSD, I'm not interested.

 

Sounds like some nice performance but that car is ugly is sin IMO.

 

How could you say that? It's classic BMW.

 

I don't care it if it's classic Jesus Christ. I just don't like it.

 

didn't the 335i kill an S2000 around Laguna Seca so I'd suspect a 135 would do at least the same thing.
