Car and Driver and the 135i!!!!!

Got my new issue of C&D today, and instantly read about the new 135i Twin Turbo! MAN! What a machine, 0-60 in 4.5 or less, with a price around 35000.... That, in my book, is a damn good deal. Power, style, and handling all for a good price!
So, whats your thougts?

Mostly a blurb talking about the car, and its performance, and competetion. I thought it was a cool article. Something else was an actual test of the new Alpina B7!

Good enough, sign me up for a Twin Turbo 1 series coupe.... Man I love being able to say Twin Turbo and 1 series in the same sentence.

It also has better power to weight ratio than the E46 M3! I find that to be very impressive lol.

I just want to buy a 128i .. you guys can have the turbo'z, its too expensive to speed in my state now.

Any word in there about what the 128i will sell for base? If the 135i is $35k, I'd imagine the lesser model might be a little under $30k. That would be an attractive coupe versus the competition at say.. $26k. But I know BMW and we wont see the 128i for less than $29k no doubt.

and the competiton? RX-8 and Infiniti G35?
