[gpomp]

are you taking deposits?

[Aleks]

Excellent pricing. This might eat into STi/Evo sales altough cars are pretty different.

[Neil4Speed]

Beautiful car for sure, but performace is low on the 128i, 230hp/200tq.

The 135i would definitely put a smile on my face, beautiful all around.

[Redlyne_mr2]

wow... good for you! Thanks for the info Mpiano, nice cars at a great price.

[C4S]

Imagine .. Dinan kit with 135i ...

Problem is .. very very very limited production for 135i .. harder to get then 335i coupe or M3 .. and basically no mark up on those cars in Canada .. :dunno:

[ZorroAMG]

What about sedan, 3 door and hatch....I don't think the coupe rear looks good and the cabrio is always (this car is no exception) a bastardized version of a coupe..soooo.....


135 3 or 5 door FTW

[benyl]

Might have to trade the M3 for a 135 cab.

[three.eighteen.]

mmm 135...like a mini m coupe

[GTS Jeff]

If I didn't live in Canada, I'd be all over this shit.

There wont be a hatch in NA, only the two dr coupe.

One could order one of these get the dealer to put in a Dinan chip and roll out of the dealer with 380hp and 420tq :thumbsup:

[Idratherbsidewayz]

135i comes in a 6 speed manual... :drool: :drool: :drool:

the price you see at the top of the page is the U.S Price, it most certainly will not be the same price in Canada

[blownz]

^ that is definitely NOT the US price. That is more than the price of the US 328 and 335 coupes. That is CDN pricing and it is very good imo. :thumbsup:


*edit*

US price for the 128 is $28,600 and the 135 is $34,900

[funkedelic]

^^^

WHAT!! :eek:

.. well thanks for proving me wrong, thats pretty insane right there!

[blownz]

Yeah, I would still rather it closer to the US price, but in either country it is priced well compared to the 3 series. Although I haven't taken a really close look to see all the differences. But based on price and what I have seen so far, I would definitely own one if I didn't have to fit two car seats in the back of my car. :(

[bspot]

Too bad they're ugly as hell in person. I'd buy one just to get my hands on a car with that engine for less money though.

Low?

That should be enough to satisfy 95% of the drivers on beyond! Remember, that's not far off an 01-ish 330Ci or E36 M3 (which isn't a real M3 though ;) )

Those cars seem to cause wood on here quite often, so I don't see why the 128 should be considered a slouch.

Haha, yeah. the 128 isn't a real 1 series because of the low power.... hahaha

[mekeni]

nice !!! wish it they offer a sedan...

It is the Best car BMW makes right now. ;)

Strongly disagree, but perhaps best bang-for-the-buck.

[benyl]

Wut is better? an M3? pft!

Power seems low - However, I am sure the car is no slouch, its pretty light.

The Engine is a 3.0L Straight 6, I was watching the dealership promo video, and all they had to do was brag about the technology that went into this engine to produce superior power (Magnesium and Aluminum Crankcase, Aluminum cylinder sleeves, second generation valvetronic, double Vanos) ... and then it turns out to be 230hp/200tq. Thats the same spec as my C32A1, keep in mind, which debuted 15 years ago!

Don't get me wrong, power isn't everything, its delivery. Just look at the C63 vs an M3 on a track.

[Mibz]

0-60 in 5.4 on the 135i coupe isn't bad but I have trouble believing you'll get a fully loaded one under $50,000. I just built an American one and didn't include a bunch of options (Including the $2,100 nav) and managed to add $9,000 to the price.

[MPowered]

Are they making a 135xi. That would be awesome!

BMW engines always seem strong given their hp rating though.

Remember how much Honda and Toyota were overstating their hp #'s....your motor probably is closer to 200 NA or German horse power. :poosie:

Also, the 230 on the C32 is based on the old standard with no accessories. The 230 for the BMW is based on the SAE standard.

Most cars in the Honda line up, if not all of them went down in rated horsepower when SAE came into affect.

BMW typically underrates their cars. The 335 has closer to 325hp than 300. The 535 is suspected to only have 310.

I am betting the 135 will come with 310 as well.

I hope you're kidding...

I know I wouldn't trade my car for one! Like I said though, great bang for the buck!

[Redlyne_mr2]

cool little cars but you know how many posers there are already in bimmers? Well this number is going to double..

I think it's mostly the fact that in Canada you can only drive it properly 41 days of the year.

If this was a real issue, Beyond wouldn't exist

Exactly. Just imagine, in 10-15 years, how many threads there will be -

My 08 128i; should I get a winter beater?

Where to store 09 BMW 128?

Driving my 128i in the winter; am I crazy?


Hahahahahaha

Haha, yes, that is true - Type II's were dynoing about 210whp stock. I would be interested to see what the 128i dynos, especially considering the same motor is in the X3/X5 and is rated at260hp, with 225lb/ft.

I don't really know about BMW understating their HP numbers on their lower end engines, perhaps on the M Series.

I like the 1-Series Styling, looks fantastic.

[benyl]

There is a thread on another board I read where a guy with a 323i had his ECU reflashed with the code from a 325i from Europe.

Same engine, just different tune. He got 44hp out of it. 218 of the Euro 325 compared to the 174hp of the Canadian 323.

wonder if the 128 can be upgraded the same way.

[Tik-Tok]

Man, I can't wait to see a tinted windshield on one of those!

That is actually quite a different motor in the X3 and X5.

:confused: Is this about the mark-up, or is there something I'm missing? Oh I'm referring to the weather. The price difference between US and Canada on this car is small enough that importation isn't worth it.

But at this price point and considering that it's an enthusiast car, many buyers will be cross shopping this car against the STI and Evo. While everything else between these 3 models more or less balances out, the real strike against the 135 is that it's not AWD like the two others. Sure you can get winter tires, but that's just making the best of a bad situation. Did I also mention that the 135 doesn't come with an LSD?

Back to my original point, if I didn't have to contend with winter roads, this car would probably be high on the list for me. But since I do, the STI or Evo make more sense, even though they're shitbox cars.

Pfft... it's all about driving. If you're going to drive a C63 on the track like a jackass drifting the tail out every corner, of course it's gonna be slower. :D

So for a FULLY loaded 135, it'd be $57g, without taxes/delivery... ouch.

[Bimmer88]

Everyone's gonna have a BIMMER NOW!

Shit... Now I'm not the only smart person.

and the sterotypical asshole driver.

Are you sure, they are all N52B30's, or so I thought.

[Tik-Tok]

Anyone else notice on BMW.ca, they say the 128i coupe is 230hp, but the cabrioghey is only 200hp? (when you go into the "learn about the BMW 1 series cabriolet")

What's up with that?

[gd3_kid]

i was reading on 1addicts.com, a bunch of reviews have seen 0-60 times consistantly come in at just below 5 seconds (for the 135).
