Ok - the sprint time of the 135i is being quoted as 5.3 from BMW UK. This must be conservative. Any thoughts?
Seems quite conservative. People are routinely getting under 5 seconds with 335's. Unless BMW messes with the gearing (which they are known to do) to intentionally keep the car slower than the 3, this car should be quicker than the 335.

Just opened a fresh new topic about the 1er Coupe... http://www.germancarzone.com/1-serie...s-release.html (BMW 1-Series Coupe Official Press Release)

Shall we take it there gentlemen? What do you think?

Well hey, I'm still holding on to the hope that the 135i will be priced and packaged low enough to make it an appealing alternative to the 3er coupe. BMW's turbo engine is the belle of the ball, and it could make for one hell of a sport compact.

However, my gut tells me that an OTD price on the 135i that's equipped with basic amenities is only going have a $7,000 gap between a similar 3er coupe.

Anyways we'll see! Sure, I'm prematurely bitching, but I certainly don't want everybody to get their hopes up for this being the "messiah BMW."
