Default Eh, not impressed.

The 135i is only a few hundred pounds lighter than a 335i. They're also $40k or more depending on how you option them.

Knowing BMW, maybe they shaved another 200lbs off the car, so it's maybe 500-600 lbs less than a 335i, but the price for a 135tii will be mid $40k's or more.

True but 500-600lbs is a bit of weight. If it were more than mid 40K then no too.

Default uh, I remember custom ordering my B5 and paying 41K and change in 6/00 ... The 135i and 335i

seems to be priced reasonably IMO. Is the Tii version coming to the states ? I assume they will have a small production run, and will likely be marked up. If the sticker is in the 46k range or so, that seems about right considering how weak the dollar is now ..

All I'm saying is the price and weight differential between the 1 and 3 isn't enough to get the 1
