More proof that great things come in small packages.
The baby BMW's edgy styling won't win any beauty prizes and the two-door body is a pain, but think of V8 performance from a compact coupe and you get the picture.
This is an indulgent driver's car with a Jekyl-and-Hyde personality: well mannered and almost docile when not pushed, but a master blaster when you ride the turbo-packed surge of power.
The 135i has brilliant performance, reassuring handling, ballsy brakes and razor-sharp steering which can be controlled by the throttle.
The combination makes it pricey, potent and close to perfect.

I have one in sparkling graphite and coral red leather and love it.I have seen it in lighter colours and think it does not look as purposeful.I rellay like the looks which get better in time.Anyway a Veyron is pig ugly for a $1m.

BMW’s are such a classy cars. Not only do look good but they are so comfortable and perform well too.

I bit the bullet and despite the protests of friends and salesmen from rival car dealers/manufacturers I bought a 135i. I’m no badge buyer and I focus on safety performance and style as well as overall reliability. I’m a salesman in the motor industry selling a japanese brand and know a lot about cars, what goes into the production, and after sales service. I’ve done more research than most of my own clients and have owned one now for 3 months. I’ve already put 5K on my car and taken it on a long interstate trip and back. All I can say is that i’m a complete convert. It’s simply the finest car for the money on the market, and it always gets a positive reaction from people. It ticks all the boxes, and i’m one tough person to please as i’m extremely picky about quality and reliability. This is a real fire-breather and every morning when i push the ignition button and she roars to life I get a big stupid smile on my face and I have no regrets about parting with my hard earned coin and buying the car. BMW should be proud of creating such a fabulous car.
