This article seems to difinitively demonstrate that, performance wise, the 135i renders the 335i superfluous. To me this is disturbing and dissappointing given I've been planning to get the 335i for some time now. Why would BMW introduce an ugly smaller sibling version of the 335i that actually out performs the 335i in nearly every metric. WTF is BMW thinking? So folks with minimal sense of taste, will be forced to pay more for less performance (and fuel economy) purely for the sake of aesthetics?? Brilliant! Talk about a buyers remorse scenerio a priori. Thanks alot BMW. Vexed! Joseph San Diego Replies to this message: fedlawman (Jun 30, 2008 10:04 pm) roadburner (Jul 01, 2008 9:12 am) roadburner (Jul 01, 2008 5:06 pm)
