Re: BMW 1-Series Coupe Official Press Release

True. 2 very different cars with Porsche having advantage over 135i (regardless of engine power) mainly because engine position, no point of comparing them.

But it'll be interesting though, to see some comparos and what's 135i actually capable of... There are high expectations for this car, from me as well, performance wise.

M1?

Re: BMW 1-Series Coupe Official Press Release

yes how about the M1 is it still on the cards.

I am dissapointed about the lack of a real Limited slip diff option on the 135i if it was an option i had already ordered one. For now i still wait for a M1 then and drive on with my 130i with aftermarket LSD.

The problem with the 135i is that it has an Ediff so you proberly can t install a mechanical LSD That a big minus for me.

Even F430 has an Ediff, I think as that technology matures it will more and more replace traditional LSDs as it definitely has the potential to offer better performance.

Re: BMW 1-Series Coupe Official Press Release

http://jalopnik.com/cars/spy-photos/bmw-128i-spotted-in-california-310594.php

of the first pre-production BMW 128i models was spotted earlier today on the 210 in Los Angeles, fairly near the Bumbeck compound. Apparently this car -- or one exactly like it -- has been seen in the area by at least one other forum member. BMW staff, or select others, are likely confirming the coupe's worthiness in the heart of LA's Freewaygarten. Don't worry, this isn't the last 1-Series that'll be spotted in El Lay. Not by a long shot.

Re: BMW 1-Series Coupe Official Press Release

The new GT5 prologue demo due out tomorrow in Japan will have the 135i coupe. Here are some press screenshots. Hopefully we'll get to see more screenshots of the car in other colors.

Re: BMW 1-Series Coupe Official Press Release

So the car is going to be featured in the game. Didn't expect that. Nice too see though, hope it drives better than the Nissan 350Z.
