Talking Please welcome the newest member of my automotive family...
Meet Hans, a 2011 BMW 135i!

Weight: 3,373 lbs
Length: 171.7 in
Birthplace: Leipzig, Germany
Other specs:

Black sapphire metallic paint
Black leather interior
Grey poplar wood trim
Chrome-line exterior trim
Black chrome exhaust
Xenon headlights w/ auto level & 'angel eyes'
Heated seats & steering wheel
///M sport steering wheel w/ paddles
7 spd SMG style double clutch trans
Sport suspension
Premium package
Value package
Moonroof
Etc, etc, etc...






Will get better pics later...spent the weekend getting acquainted (over 200 miles worth). This car is a blast! Had 3 (from 2002-now) 3-series BMWs, they were nice but wanted a change (and a bit more power!), this fit the bill nicely. So nimble and quick, I don't think I'll never go back to a 3-series...

So a 135 has more room that a 3 series? That doesn't make sense to me because I though the 1 series where the little guys and the 3 series small to mid sized cars. Please educate me.

Yours looks good from what we can see.

No, it doesn't have more room than a 3 (nor did I say that )...it is smaller and weighs about 200ish pounds lighter than a 3 series.

I've had 3 3-series BMWs and found that I don't need the extra room, and wanted something with more power, hence the move to the 1-series.

Just read a review of the 135M. Sounds like tons of fun in a small package.
Have fun with it
