I know what the 335 looks like in person. I know what the 335 looks like in pics. I know what the 135 looks like in pics. Ergo....not hopeful.

do you mean "I've seen pics of a few different versions"? Because I've said in this thread I like the 5dr. Sadly, we aren't getting it.

I have seen different pics of just the coupe, side treatments and stuff like that. Won't know until we see one in person . That engine will unmistakable though .

I've driven two 335i's now....both with and without the ProCEDE. Yes, it's a nice powerplant. No, I wouldn't be happy with the car if it looks like the pics we've seen so far.

Well my wife has a Z4, and many people don't like it either, but I think it has some nice curves, but some people don't like the big dips in the doors, like the 135i seems to have.

BMW is great about that though, they post a price, but then you go to get one and "poof" it's 4-5 grand more .

Simple, she loves the looks of the car thus if she had one she'd be happy.

Still can't decide, trade the last unmodified '03 MCS for a '08 or the 135

the base price seems to be a car without wheels, tires, seats, radio, cruise control and on and on. When we got our MDX, I was looking at both the X3 and X5. I'd say, buy the time I'd optioned them the way I'd like to own them, the price was 15-20% higher...
