 The coupe is just as you describe.
 
I would only drive the 135i Coupe "after dark" when my friends are asleep, if you catch my drift.
 
It is to TM's credit that he is trading in the coupe for the convertible. Smart move!
 
Hey, some folks like the coupe's style. Even Maureen O'Hara found a soft spot for Charles Laughton's Hunchback Of Note Dame.

Oh, i see, posting on an internet thread means that you have "special courage."
 
I think the 3 coupe is _slightly_ better looking than the 135 coupe, but, c'mon, as an adult you know that looks are subjective. There are prettier cars than either out there too, to many people.
 
If the looks outweigh the performance/price advantage is a matter of opinion. Obviously, people who are interested in the 1 come down on the side of price/performance, or don't agree with you about the looks. We all know what the 3 coupe looks like, so repeating you don't like the 135 every few posts isn't really very productive.

And the 6 Series 'verte trumps both as a looker! But the others hit the wall as the 135 catches the apron.

No venom. Reply wasn't directed at you. I'm working off a mobile in Hawaii so I'm doing my best.
 
I think the whole injection of 3-Series and McDonalds is out of whack for a 1-Series forum.
 
Sorry if it looked like I was targeting you. Totally not the case. It's cool.

You might consider when the Bangled look was called butt-ugly, and then became acceptable, and eventually even copied. BMW does it again and again.
 
Yet, folks are willing to pay full boat and wait for months to get this little gem.
 
I agree the convertible is the looker, but the Coupe is cool in my eye.

Yes the 6 Series 'verte is right up there with my Bangle masterpiece, the sharp and elegant 545i. We will never see such a masterpiece again, I fear.
 
After driving an art form like the 545i for 3 years, one can surely empathize with my disappointment in the 1 Coupe.
 
PS: You say potato, I say patahto;

"the 335i Coupe is nearly as good..."
 
The G35 is nearly as good as the 335i. The Acura TL-S is nearly as good as the G35. The Cadillac CTS is nearly as good as the TL-S...
 
Hey, I know. Let's start a new thread called, "cars that are nearly as good but prettier than the 1-series."

Hpowders, your 5er wasn't so loved when it first came out! No one was waiting months to pay full price.
 
So, stay real for goodness sake.
