Motor Trend - Quick Test: 2008 BMW 135i - 03-28-2008, 01:34 AM


BMW's new 1 Series really is just that-the only one in its class. We recently took a 2008 135i out for numbers testing, track hot laps, and some real-world miles to see how it performed, and as we suspected, the small 2+2 BMW coupe scored high with editors and turned out some impressive numbers.

Modern diesels can be lightened using lighter materials that are just as sturdy and long-lasting as the heavier materials used in the past.
