Sometimes you just want the underdog to stay underdog. I wasn't happy when the 1 series won.

 

Can't knock its performance but Jesus Christ the 135 is sooooo ugly.

 

come on now, the one is not so bad.

 

I am a BMW fan, but the 1 is sooooooo ugly.

 

If I was looking to buy something in that price range, I'd buy something like a G37 a million times over before the 135.

 

the g37 is a sweet ride in the mid 30 price range.

 

I didn't think BMW was putting limited-slip differentials in anything but their M cars? Is the limited-slip in the 135i something new?

 

That little thing is a rocketship. Can't wait to see what the tii can do, with some software tweaks it will be a monster.

 

there is an e-diff in the car that appears to be working as good as a normal lsd...

and the tii is not going into production.

 

Incorrect sir.

 

There's quite a price difference between those 2 cars too (in the US anyways). It'll be interesting to see how the 1 series sells...

 

On Top Gear, they compared the 1 to a VW R32, and the VW won that comparison. I don't think that the Cayman would come in last place when compared to the other two cars.

I agree that the G37 is excellent bang for the buck.

 

The 135 was running OEM runflats also.

 

they should have compared it to a Cayman S, not a base cayman. Cayman S would wipe the floor with it. new m3 already has lost both comparos it has had with the cayman S.
