What do you guys think? Which body style do you like more?

Btw, you can view more pics here BMW Blog

335i all the way~

**mryakan** · 07-04-2007, 12:44 AM

135 is a younger looking car, 335 is more mature looking. Size and performance aside, the 3 series looks are more pleasing but the 1 is hot too.

**335iDriver** · 07-04-2007, 02:29 AM

The 335i is better. I saw a new 3-series but it was a hatchback. What the hell was that? It had Baja California (Mexico) plates.

**emm229** · 07-04-2007, 09:04 AM

335, no question.

**sor** · 07-04-2007, 11:06 AM

Is it just me or does the lower car look cartoonish, with exaggerated features?

**tomegun** · 07-04-2007, 11:26 AM

I think there is room for both of them and they both look good.

Off topic - Do you think BMW could keep costs low if they only offered the 1-series interior with black leather(ette) and aluminum accents? I'm not big into wood - my 335 was ordered with Aluminum - and I think the 1-series interior just flows with everything being black.

335i is my choice but they both look great. The 1 series with that motor is going to be a beast. I can't wait to finally see one on the street.

**Beer Goggles** · 07-04-2007, 02:14 PM

135 is small so it's going to look cartoonish.

**sleeeper** · 07-04-2007, 10:40 PM

This car may be fast with the same motor, anyone got a glimpse of the price sheet?
Reminds me of my 2002tii and will be a hot seller
Anyone think it will be faster than 335i? Even with the mag/aluminum block it will likely be lighter...
Will it have the same tranny, too?

Actually it's close to the size of the E36. It's the E9x that got larger. They are now close to the size of the E28 5 series...

supposedly around $35k

Looks out of proprtion to me. Perhaps if it were a hatchback it would allow better flowing lines between the roof and rear of the car.

maybe a little bit, but I can't wait to see it at the L.A show. And unfortunately no hatchback for us in the States.

**Beer Goggles** · 07-05-2007, 04:51 PM

I think it looks better than the pictures suggest. I just watch a video of it on motortrend and it looked pretty good for a lil guy.

**sal123** · 07-05-2007, 05:05 PM

So... Forgive my ignorance, but what doesn't it have that the 3 series does?

Mass. It's supposedly ~400 lbs lighter.

It's also not currently planned to have X-drive.

**Beer Goggles** · 07-05-2007, 06:10 PM

It's currently not as big, nor as good looking IMO.

**Danny 335i** · 07-06-2007, 08:54 PM

335 without a doubt!

The headlights look too large for the front end.

Ok... That's something that I can point my finger at and say "That's why it is X less". Anything else? That's really not much seperating the 2 series.

**sleeeper** · 07-07-2007, 10:16 AM

Personally, I am not happy that they are putting the freaking twin turbos in it, That came off as a separator for the 335 and 535.

That thing is going to sell like MAD. No it isnt as pretty, but wait till the pro tuners get ahold of it. It will be faster than the 335 and new M3 when they are done.

Anyone know where to extract 400 pounds from a coupe?

Take out the seats and the air conditioner
