Teenagers think their civic is fast because the fastest car they drove behind their civic is their mom's Camry I4. Seriously man, go drive one of these and you will understand why your comments are so foolish.

In what way? You put all the aftermarket bs on an ISF and it will still not come close to a chipped 135i... and the chip will only run you a tiny fraction of what aftermarket parts cost for an IS-F.

I would like to own this car... if it looked better. I hate the headlights on the car, just makes it look goofy, and the back, just ugly imo.

The 445hp rating for the US market is more power than the current M3, I dont think BMW would want to trump M3 owners with a smaller faster coupe.

I'd say the 1 Series, hands down, has the ugliest interior above $30,000.
