my car experience is good. I love how I can get places on time and always ride with my dad. When I'm in my car it feel so good to lay back and relax in the seats. the seats are so soft and the steering wheel is just so firm. I love this car so much and the speed also.

BMW 135i is very fast and powerful car
Sitting at the top of the tree, the BMW 135i is currently the fastest and most powerful
The beauty of the 135i is that it offers all the practicality of the standard 1 Series, with the added firepower of a turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six.
All models are rear-wheel drive, helping make it one of the finest handling hatchbacks
With its amazing engine at the heart of its appeal, the 135i is a joy to drive.
The silky-smooth six-cylinder revs all the way to 7,000rpm and has a sweetly tuned exhaust note. It’s quick, too – 62mph arrives in just 5.5 seconds

Explosive when you want, Comfortable when you relax.
When I want to pass another on the free way, this one never disappoints me. Sometimes I have to calm this down.
When I want to relax and drive smoothly, this one gives me comfortable ride.
It sips fuel considering the engine size.
Exterior is not the best, I think, but the interior is awesome with carbon fire patches.
It still satisfies me but have too many cars.

A great car with exceptional performance
Beautiful car. Great performance, decent milage and no significant problems to deal with. The transmission is exceptional. Silky smooth shifting and positive gear changes. The brakes are also exceptional. Less stopping distance than a Porsche 911. Not bad in fuel economy if one can keep the right foot up a bit. Not a bad winter driver as well with a good set of snow tires. Overall a great car. No complaints.

This is the best car I have ever owned. It is a beautiful, perfectly balanced, great handling, comfortable refined sports coupe which is destined to become a BMW classic. The trend these days is toward bigger cars. I don't like big cars. The 1 series is designed with wheels on all four corners of the car with little overhang... the mark of good design and excellent handling. Visibility is excellent with no blind spots. One can travel all day and feel virtually no fatigue at all.

Never had a car that's so much fun!
The amazing thing about this car is the size of the trunk - for a convertible. Even with the top down there is room for two suitcases, a cooler, and several smaller bags. We've taken it for holidays all over the Atlantic provinces and as far South as Virginia on a couple of occasions. The rear seat is surprisingly roomy, but is low and wouldn't be very suitable for adults on long trips. However, for our granddaughters in their booster seats, riding in the back is a blast.
The engine is plenty gutsy, but this is not a fuel-efficient compact car by any means. It averages around 8.5 to 9 L/100 km urban and highway driving. But that's how it's advertised. That's the price you pay for the in-line 6 with the distinctive snarly exhaust note. (End of an era? The new BMW dual turbo 4's sound like giant sewing machines.)
Even though this was BMW's smallest North American export at the time it was introduced, you can get all the comforts and features imaginable. The Harmon Kardon sound system is fantastic, and the "driver's memory" function, which automatically adjusts the position of the seat, side mirrors and instrumentation (even tuning in to your favourite radio station) is indispensable for us aging baby boomers who switch drivers frequently.

It's so fun to drive!
I love this car.
The 128i has a ton of power and a smooth ride that makes every drive enjoyable. Takes corners like a champ. This car starts in the coldest of weather and has never caused me any problems. The style is simple but sexy and the interior is comfortable. Living in Alberta, the heated steering wheel has been a major bonus. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone who was looking for something refined and sporty.

Excellent car, safe, secure and rock steady. There are faster, and maybe more stylish cars in this class, but you can't beat the fit, finish, build and driving pleasure for this price. Very good value and holds value over time.

Truly amazing! BMW hit the nail on the head when they created the 135i. The 6 speed manual, inline-6, 3.0L twin turbo engine purrs, producing 300 hp and 300ft/lbs all at 1400 rpm. I have babied this vehicle as it truly deserves to be treated as such.

Terrific ride
I really love my series1 BMW, the exterior design is just the best (dog face), the interior is stylish and comfortable. I experienced a very hight performances with this car but it does hurt the pocket (fuel economy) with 9 horse power.
But over all, it's my dream car and I really love driving it.
