because marketting pictures are representative of what it will really look like in real life and are in no way enhancing its looks. My IS doesnt look anything like the brochure pictures, so what?

Those are the best pics I've seen of the 1-series BY FAR. I don't know, in the right color, it might actually look ok. Either way, with that twin turbo engine, it should be a blast to drive, and for a cheaper price than the 335i.

Too bad Acura just dropped the RSX...seems like the only real competitor for this car, and is far better looking IMO.

eh no? I had a RSX before but this 135i will most likely to blow away RSX, and many other in the same price range including my IS350, in terms of performance.
Look, of course, is subjective.

The car seems to weigh a lot for as small it is supposed to be imo. It kind of interesting how the bumped the HP to "306" as well...

The european 335 also has 306hp. When the 135 comes to the US, it will have the same 300hp. That brochure is for England.

1-series hatchback looks cool, but the coupe looks retarded.
