Has anyone written a review for this car yet off of this site? This car is growing on me. It looks fantastic the performance is insane and its a bit of a bargain too. Think of it this way EVO STI 135i all have around 300hp and 30k sticker but with the EVO and the STI they are still bassicly fast eco boxes while the 135i was built right with quality materials and stunning performance. The reason im asking is Im thinking about trading the IS for something more fun in the spring.

 

I did a full-length review on the 128i Convertible. At the time I did it, the few 135i's available were all pre-sold, and unavailable for test-drives.

I did review the same drivetrain, however, in a full-length review of the 335i.

go drive one, you'll be impressed. I was, and I only drove the auto with paddles (shifts were amazingly quick). I wouldn't buy that tho, would get the 6-spd, or hopefully their new DCT tranny if/when it's avail in the 1 series. It's hard to go back to a BMW stick after having the S2000, so that's why I'm actually leaning toward the DCT.
