Ah yes, the BMW 135i: A car with BMW M3 performance, but without the M3\u2019s price. When I first saw that car at Crevier BMW, in Santa Ana, California, my first impression was, \u201cWhoa\u2026what a rocket this must be.\u201d And you know what? I was right. The 335i\u2019s \u201clittle brother\u201d have been targeting the younger buyers ever since it made its debut in the U.S. two years ago. Shouldn\u2019t Pierce Brosnan end up driving something similar to this car instead بسبب that Aston in the Bond flick, \u201cDie Another Day\u201d to kick off the end بسبب the Brosnan\/BMW era بسبب the 007 franchise? I believe so; I mean, tracing back 15 years, when he first appeared as the dazzling British secret agent, in the movie \u201cGoldeneye,\u201d he had driven the very first BMW to ever come onto the Bond set. Then, there was the historic E38 BMW 750i(L) in \u201cTomorrow Never Dies,\u201d and finally, the BMW Z8 in \u201cThe World is Not Enough\u201d when it miserably and wretchedly got sliced in half long-way by Elektra King\u2019s henchmen (L); MGM three to four years later wanted Bond (or Brosnan for that matter) to go back to Aston Martin? Come on, at least he could have driven the E46 M3 with the SMG transmission or an E39 M5 with the standard manual transmission. But anyway, that was just on a sidenote. Now on to the reviews. After doing a few test runs with the 135i at various BMW dealers (both coupe and convertible) in sunny Southern California, I have found its interior to be quite comfortable. The black Boston leather seats, which I mostly adore, are not really firm, but also does not get the plushy feeling when the Premium Package is included, and the StepTronic transmission (for the 2008-2010 models) is very smooth and efficient. Again, if you want M3 performance without the M3 price, the 135i is definitely the car for you. The 135i convertible is nothing but a coupe with an extra $5000 \u201cjacket\u201d that does not even fit to look like an Armani-like suit; not to mention, that soft-top actually adds an extra 500-600 pounds in the back. So if you are thinking بسبب lugging your golf clubs or some luggage in the back بسبب the 135i convertible, think again. I would rather go with the 135i coupe rather than the convertible any day; the coupe is lighter, more attractive-looking, and gets better 0-60 mph and \u00bc mile numbers on a straight Category:Home \u203a Home \u2022 Will higher gasoline prices mean lower sales for new cars? \u2014 part 2 \u2022 Will higher gasoline prices mean lower sales for new cars? \u2014 part 1 \u2022 Should the crew بسبب the Sea Shepherd board whaling ships? \u2022 Which makes a better pet: A dog or a cat? \u2014 part 13 \u2022 Grandparents: Can blogging chronicle your genealogy? \u2022 Which makes a better pet: A dog or a cat? \u2014 part 12 \u2022 Are teachers unions the cause بسبب public school problems today? \u2022 Which makes a better pet: A dog or a cat? \u2014 part 11<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
