For me though the car is too small. If I were to get a 4-door car, it is for my family car, thus the 335i, GS350 sized cars. If I were to get myself my own car, it would be a 2-Door coupe anyway like the 335i Coupe, A5/S5, G37 or something. This car doesn't really appeal too me simply because it is a small 4-door. If it were a coupe, it might be different.

Yeah, you are sooo right. IMO, I think it's a really cool car and it's really not that small. Its about the same size as an E36 coupe from the nineties but it has different lines which makes the car appear smaller in size. I personally would have considered an 1 series when I bought my 335i because the 3 series is getting to be a little too big these days, loosing that small, fun little car appeal it used to have. To me, it's a great buy but you guys are right, it's a little too expensive but hey it's a German car built with German parts. We all know how much $$$ we loose when buying anything European these days b/c of the strong Euro.

The only reason I would even think to buy a 135i is to save gas. But why pay so much for a car just to save gas when I can get a toyota/honda to do the same job for less then 1/2 the price.
I just don't see any point for this car, unless someone is a BMW enthusiast.
The 3, 5, 6, and 7 series are perfect for BMW's lineup along with the Z's and X's.
This 1 series will sell good for the first year but I think will die off by the 2nd and 3rd year. Just my opinion.

The one thng we are all forgeting about concerning the 135i price is lease deals. If the lease deals are good, it will make the final price a lot more attractive than the 335i when its all said and done. I do believe the 128i will outsell the 135i just like how it does it in the 3 series and 5 series. Nothing new there.

Pole Position
It's probably the most mis-proportioned, poorly designed car I've ever seen.
It has awkward lines going every which way and makes no sense. I'd place it in the Pontiac Aztec category.
I'd easily choose a Toyota Yaris sedan over this. Seriously.
Owners better not go around with a proud "I have a Bimmer" attitude.
