Description:
The 1-Series is BMW’s new 4-seat performance coupe that BMW describes as inspired by the legendary BMW 2002 from the 1960s. The 1-Series features rear-wheel-drive dynamics, agile handling, and powerful engines. A 3.0-liter six-cylinder is in the 128i, while the 135i uses a twin-turbocharged six-cylinder. It is spectacular to drive with excellent steering.

Expert Review: 2008 BMW 135i
Expert Rating: 4.5 stars

" From a strong start to a ‘whiplash’ second gear, the 135i will get you up to speed in a hurry."

2009 135i Coupe

Strengths:
Three words: Handling, Acceleration, and Braking. Its those three things that makes this car shine. I opted for the 135i coupe with sports package and Steptronic transmission and that silky smooth 3.0L inline six twin turbo engine is an absolute beauty! Cruising on the highway is no problem with this car, in fact maybe too easy. Push down too far on the accelerator and you might have to prepare yourself for a ticket. No worries though, six piston and two piston (front/rear) calipers keep you in check. This car You definitely feel one with the 1 series. :)

Weaknesses:
Not much to dislike about this car, I know for a fact that this car has more potential under the hood, but if it left the factory any more powerful it would eat into M car sales. I've owned my car for 5 months now and I just love it, its hard to find fault with it. Could be better on gas mileage, but for the power it offers I can't be mad.

Summary:
Was in love with this car from day one. Its stylish, fast, and handles like a dream. I have no regrets in choosing this car, even though I had Porsche's Cayman S in mind around time of purchase. After owning this car I believe that BMW is the Ultimate Driving Machine and the 1 series fits right in.
