Europe pricing (UK) slips out... here's what it translates to in dollars (for fun!)
While it's impossible to accurately judge the cost of vehicles in the U.S. based off pricing in Europe, Autocar (british website) gives us a brief glimpse of what to expect. According to Autocar, the diesel-equipped models will span the financial spectrum between £21,585 for the 175 HP 120d to £26,290 for the 201 HP M-Sport 123d. Since we'll probably see none of the oil-burners here in the States, the one figure that stood out to us was £29,745. That's the price in pounds for the M-Sport equipped 135i coupe.
£29,745 is just under $60,000 U.S. at current exchange rates – far from what we'll pay when the 135i makes its way across the pond. For comparison, the 335i in the U.K. comes in at £31,550, or about $63,500 in U.S. dollars (again, at today's exchange rate). So if the base 335i here in the United States comes in at $38,900, then would it be safe to assume that the 135i should be under $35k? :biggrin:
