I went on the BMW website to get a feel for pricing on the 135i and I was like That was the price range I expected to see on the 335i. Cars are getting so expensive! I wonder what the 335i goes for? Lots of potential locked away in that little car though.

Thats why you DO NOT see them on the road (other than Jerry's of course because like Styx says, "He's got too much time on his hands"). I see a ton of 335 I BUT Jerry's is the only 135 I've seen on the road as I passed him and Jake..................... going in opposite directions of course

When I saw the 135 at the Auto Show two years ago, the BMW rep said it was going to be their low cost entry into the market at 28 K. I said, cool, that's where I want to be. Out of the gates the thing is 35 K + and a well appointed one is well over $40 K. Better wait for a used one. All the ones at Crystal Lake BMW are running in the low to mid $40s and the 335s are about $50 K. BMW, I ask, what happened to our 2002ti ???

Do you live by there? That's where my 328i is from!

And if 135i was about 5k cheaper it would sell a whole lot better IMO.

I've seen a couple of 128's but didnt see any 135's. The way the 135 is priced, it makes sense just to buy the 335i since you get more value for your money.

You guys also have to keep in mind that the euro is worth a lot more then the dollar now. Back four or five years ago, it was the opposite. I dont see bmw prices going down anytime soon unless they start making them here like the x5 and there other suv's.

Agreed. I found it a lot of fun in the limited seat time I had with it. Second and third gear pull was very impressive.

Awesome car he has, I just can't get over the fact that the ole C32 is still on his sig I say hes still in mourning over it.

When he ran a mid 12 at Morrocco with one guy in the right front seat too, I knew the C32s were in trouble. And, that was without many mods too??

Still, the price of those damn Beemers is just too much and in this market of falling lux car values, I can't see (for me) buying a new one. Plus, Bayerische Motor Werken is very protective of their warranties if the car is modded.

just buy a used one..there's your answer. Even fully loaded 335i's going for $45-50k new are about $31-35k on the used car market..just from checkin my local craigslist.

Once bmw starts offering 335i with the DCT..i might look to jump ship.
