I personally love the new 135i styling.Its a matter of personal taste.I currently drive a 04 325ci which I have traded in on the 135iM Convertible with all the trimmings.The motor isnt detuned Godspeed.Get your facts correct of visit a BMW dealer for correct info. It is the same 3.0litre twin turbo that you find in the 335i.

I’m with Paul. Why no diesel in the line-up? The shape look promising but it’s off the short list if no diesel coming to Oz.

I’ll take a 123d over the 135i any day.

BMW Australia, at least give us the choice – they already make RHD 123d vehicles for the UK… what’s the big deal?

Just read a UK test on the 123 twin turbo diesel. 0-100 in 6.1. I want one.

Have to agree S15NZ. The front and rear just don’t do it for me. The interior looks mint however, and I am sure the engines will be top notch. But WTF is with the rear on the 135i shot above?

i know its a matter of personal taste, but frankly, the 1 series is one of the most ugliest cars on the road today

Hmmm, I’m a Mercedes man myself, but $70k for a 3.0TT coupé sure sounds good to me.

Sorry that was meant to be “2.5″, not “3.5″ litre engine in the 325i

So will there be a 130i coupe to match the hatch range? it’s getting confusing when both 125i (160kW) and 135i (225kW) have 3.0 litre engines and there is also a 3.0 litre BMW engine which produces 195kW, and there is the 3.5 litre engine in the 325i that produces an identical 160kW (albeit 250Nm compared with the 3.0 litre’s 270Nm). If this is the case, BMW have obviously detuned the 3.0 motor to keep the 135i “safe”, but you’d feel a little like you’re getting the short end of the stick.

Not the first time BMW have detuned a motor to protect the top of the range engine though
