I may have a biased view, but I actually like the look of the 1 series better...

[Energy]

Small, RWD, turbo, 6 speed manual?! And no headlights connected to the kidneys either?

Thank you BMW!

The mirrors are copying Audi though.

[v_tec]

I wonder how this one will be priced...

Starting at 38-9k?

[Timpo]

i can't even tell if that thing is a 1 or 3 series anymore

[Akinari]

Can't say I'm a fan. The 1-Series has become in my mind, one of those timeless and uniquely original cars that simply can't be replaced.

[dared3vil0]

If this is under 40k i'm VERY interested...

Im a BMW favoring kind of guy..... and im on the same boat.

[meme405]

Jesus how many different two door models does one company need?

[yray]

even for coupes
odd for sedans

8 series anyone :troll:

[falcon]

BMW is like the car version of Apple. Make it and people will find an excuse to buy it.

I like this better than both the 1 and the 3 series coupe. IIRC BMW said they wanted to make a car closer to the roots of the early 3 series not the bloated version it is these days.

[wstce92]

hopefully they'll do a full blown M2

[SB7]

they must.

Wish it had a sweet NA I6 powerplant rather than crappy forced-induction.

My last car was a 135i and I felt that the engine was the worst part of the entire package

[GG]

^

why wats wrong with the engine?

[rawr]

^whys that? The n54, despite the hpfp issues, should be a pretty potent engine. Last time I drove one, felt quite smooth. Why didn't you like it?
Posted via RS Mobile

[nma]

135 engine is pretty nice.... inline 6 twin turbo, how can you complain

[GG]

^

my thoughts exactly


driven 335/135i on numerous occasions and i didnt find anything wrong with the engine

[yray]

Peak torque rpm was too low for him

[multicartual]

Stock the motor was just uber-boring

I leased the car because I loved the look and I wanted to know what owning a new BMW was like. The car couldn't chirp the tires into second after a few months of owning it and everything about the car was pretty numb. The e-diff sucks.

Having said that, I loved the interior, seats, stereo, brakes, looks, handling, and ride.

Worst parts were the engine and a close second, the diff.

The stock N54 has no top end either, the power dies right at 5500 RPM.

Ummm...isn't this thing just a 1 series coupe, in the same way that the 4 series is just a 3 series coupe?

I find that the N54 is a really good engine. Silky smooth power delivery throughout the rev range. And the potential for massive power is really appealing too.

[westopher]

I guarantee that it wont even be close to that. I'd guess 55k
Also I wonder when they are going to release the gran coupe, touring, minivan convertible, convertible 4 door, hatchback, convertible coupe, and GT hatchback crossover version of it.

[HonestTea]

Not bad BMW..Not Bad...

Gonna wait on pricing

What's your definition of a fun motor? just wondering.

[GG]

Number of cylinders: 10
Configuration: 90° vee, 40 valves
Weight: 92 kg
Capacity: 2997

straight ouf of a Ferrari F1


i guess thats his definition

[BBMme]

Something about that front bumper.......
Posted via RS Mobile

[Harvey Specter]

Bumper looks similar to the M4 concept bumper.

Overall I like the car, it looks better than the 1 series imo.

[HonestTea]

Not bad BMW..Not Bad...

Gonna wait on pricing

Just released!

Launch / U.S. Pricing

2014 M235i: $44,025 (including $925 destination & handling)
2014 228i: $33,025 (including $925 destination & handling)
Arrives first quarter of 2014 - March market launch
Debuts at 2014 Detroit Auto Show in January

[GG]

so that means CAn ricing will be

$38g for 238

$48g for 235i

[xpl0sive]

Just released!

I would add $10-15k to that for Canadian pricing... I'm confused, is this supposed to replace the 1 series?

Edit: Tequila beat me to it

the 228i is pretty quick too.. lol 0-60 5.4 seconds.. but inline 4 turbo vs inline 6 turbo... next car is gonna be a tough decision...

[Energy]

Ooooh the M235i gets a standard mechanical LSD too. No more silly electric LSD.

[StylinRed]

the numbers are nice and it looks better than the cla etc imo but meh

i like the modern line a bit more but its not going to be available over here

[tofu1413]

even for coupes
odd for sedans

8 series anyone :troll:

wouldnt mind. :notbad:

better have pop up headlights. :fullofwin:

[Domani]

looks like an one sized down version of the e92.

[Timpo]

ok seriously what the fuck is 2 series and 4 series?? They're fucking 1 and 3 series!!

Seems like there's naming crisis going on nowadays...just like Infiniti Q50. It's a G37 goddamn it!

[too_slow]

I want a hatch. I really want the new front from the 2 to trickle down to the M135i. Love the hatch, love the drivetrain, ABSOLUTELY HATE THE FRONT

http://www.themotorreport.com.au/content/image/b/m/bmw_m135i_australia_official_01a_1-1030.jpg

Maybe I will trade in my S3 for an LCI m135i

They can charge more money with a series change, for example the 4 series coupe is much more than the previous gen 3 coupe.

[rice cooker]

so bmw has 1-8 covered? only leaves 9 series :lawl:

[tofu1413]

styling is much more aggressive if compared model to model.

Front bumper alone is more racy looking than the standard 135i M sport / 135is. That 2 series press car does have some dinky looking wheels though.

wonder how would a M2 look like..

Where was the photoshoot taken. As a dock worker tha ship wouldn't be allowed near Vancouver. Too rusty and more than likey has tubercolosis on it or something. Also, BMW should just stic with the models they have.
