Found the length, it’s 4360mm which is 133mm longer than the hatch. It's also got six pots, sat nav, DSC, hill start assistance, brake drying-pre-tensioning and fade compensation. I'm well up for a test drive after it's launched over here. |

hmm..pretty sure there won't be an M series in this model, what would they call it as there is already the iconic M1. Maybe watch out for ACS, Hartge and Alpina 'tuned' versions of the 135 tho.. [interesting] |

Agreed black Betty, the potential for modding/ tuning is awesome on the 135. It makes for a great alternative/rival to the E92 3 series.
As for comparing it's iconic status to an E30 M3, it's far to early to speculate. I can also see the 135 in two or three years time, being the car to have on the used market and as you said, holding it's price well. |

I reckon that the 135 will become even more of an icon in the future than the beloved E30 M3(did I really just say that??) the reason is that it’s going to be soooooooo tuneable, just imagine, after market zaust, intake and remapp and your now looking at a car with almost as much power as the E39 M5 this beggars belief The twin turbo engine is going to be the most sought after piece of kit BMW has produced EVER now that it’s going into the entry level model meez thinks. These wee car’s are going to hold their value SO well in resale terms as they will be so desirable sign me up the now please!!!! This is my opinion and I’d love to hear you guy’s thought’s on it. Sorry I’ve only caught on to this topic but news travels slow in the Middle East |

I had a drive of a 130i M.Sport end of last year and I have to say it was one of the best cars I have ever driven so I reckon the 135i must be awesome.

my mistake, i misread the top gear email, i thought it was referring to the 335 engined 1-ser.... "You weren't meant to find out about this one until next week, but we got a sniff of BMW's new 1-Series Coupe a bit earlier than we should and thought you'd want to hear about it. |

'Offering 306hp from its light alloy and magnesium straight-six engine, the 135i is capable of accelerating from zero to 62mph in 5.3 seconds before going on to an electronically-limited top speed of 155mph.' yup it's quick |

When BMW officially deny a production vehicle they are usually covering it up.
