Very happy that BMW has realized they have been building cars for a while that while being very nice are getting to large and heavy for a part of their community. Hopefully will see more developments this way.</p> Lots to love about the 135i.

If I tracked my car, I could definitely see wanting it more stripped down – both weight wise and options wise (which btw, I loaded mine up!). :o )

I am a fan of the 135i series but I still do believe that a tii or CSL version would rock!
