Is it just me or....(135i)

jayely1 · 09-03-2009, 02:08 PM

I use to think they were hideous, mostly just from pictures. But when I see one driving they don't look bad at all!! Is this just me??

cstavaru · 09-03-2009, 02:09 PM

Still fugly to me. I truly hope the next 1-series will look great, because it is not a bad car.

akack79 · 09-03-2009, 02:10 PM

I still can't get over how "bug-eyed" it looks, but that's just me.

EDM92 · 09-03-2009, 02:10 PM

Hideous IMHO

+1

JRJ1970 · 09-03-2009, 02:12 PM

Honestly I think they look better than the 3-series as is. I went to BMW to get one of these last year but the .09% APR they offered me on the 3-series and the $5,000 off invoice, I settled for the 3-series hands down! I love my 3 but my next car will be a 1. Love 'em!

F32Fleet · 09-03-2009, 02:12 PM

I think they look quite good. It's what you get when you take an E46 and squish it by about 2"-3".

BRAISKI · 09-03-2009, 02:13 PM

I thought it looked nice in the pics before but when I saw it up close I was like yikes!!!

deletedelete · 09-03-2009, 02:15 PM

I dont like the rear lights at all. The fronts ok I guess and I have a few gripes about the interior. Seeing both in person made me choose the 3.

jayely1 · 09-03-2009, 02:19 PM

The headlights are pretty bad..can't get past that.

persian54 · 09-03-2009, 02:20 PM

I like them

prefer the 3 of course

but I do like the 1 heh

+1, other than that it's a fantastic looking car! nice aggressive stance, very sporty.. any aftermarket headlight options out there?

deletedelete · 09-03-2009, 02:22 PM

wow yeah! I just looked up some pics and those headlights look really strange.

reprod · 09-03-2009, 02:23 PM

Stock 135 exhaust deserves some

e34guy · 09-03-2009, 02:54 PM

I use to think the 135i was better looking that the 335i but after getting my 335i never doubted the 3! but the 1 isnt too bad!

Bmoney2K4 · 09-03-2009, 02:55 PM

Never ever would i drive a car like that. It is a car that would leave me with little self-respect left. It's a line I think men shouldn't cross. You never know how you feel about driving in that car until you are actually doing so.

NeTWorKz · 09-03-2009, 02:59 PM

not feeling the 1-series AT ALL.

fdsasdasdf · 09-03-2009, 03:04 PM

The 1 headlights remind me of a really happy puppy.

Don't ask me why, but they do.

Is it louder than the 335??

DJKhan85 · 09-03-2009, 03:08 PM

The 1 did grow on my after I got my 3. However, I got a 128 as a loaner and that interior just feels extremely cheap and ill thought out to me. Granted it was a completely base model(on a side note the 28 engine and auto transmission made me love my 335 6mt even more).

Isn't it suppose to be a hatch back

pooskay · 09-03-2009, 03:42 PM

the sporty 135's look good to me.....but depending on the angle, it can look like a girly car on the road.
