BMW 135 Review Summary

What reviewers liked most about the BMW 135:

• On the road, the power delivery of the turbo six is so smooth and relentless that it makes the 1 Series fast-very fast-but never furious. - Edmunds.com

What reviewers liked least about the BMW 135:

• Interior room suffers a bit, too, although hardly enough for a real convertible enthusiast to notice. - New Car Test Drive

• ...the 135i has a tranny tunnel bulging into the footwells and crowding the gas pedal. - Car and Driver

BMW 135 Comparisons:

• Because the BMW 135i is essentially a scaled-down 335i, its ride, steering, and handling carry the same exemplary qualities as the larger car. - New Car Test Drive

• Anyone familiar with the interior layout of the current 3 Series would be hard pressed to tell the difference between the BMW 135i and the much larger, more expensive 335i. - New Car Test Drive

Best one-liners about the BMW 135:

• Pocket rocket? More like musclecar. - Motor Trend

• ...it could be argued that the 135i is the purest BMW ? a smaller, lighter coupe, which harkens back to the 1970s cars that made the Ultimate Driving Machine a reality rather than just marketing schlock. - Edmunds.com
