Sleeper — This car is nothing but fun to drive. My guess is that most people see the 1-series as the entry level little brother to the 3-series. While that may be true, I think people underestimate how powerful and agile the 135i really is. With 5s 0-60 and back to zero in 105ft, and 0.98 lateral Gs, this is 90% of an M3 for 60% of the cost.

Gas is expensive and you will be using a lot of it.

The Perfect Combination Of Speed, Driving Pleasure, And The Bmw Build Quality. The Baby Bm. — A blast to drive-- Nimble and sure-footed; never lacking power from the twin-turbo 3-liter engine. A pleasure to drive quickly both on highway and in the tighter sections of a country back road. +German engineering and build quality. Will run 0-60 times of 4/7 with roll out.

Primary Use: Commuting to work
