It's an inline 6, not a V..

Edit: The rumor right now is apparently mid $30k range for the 135i..

The 335I starts at $41,575

Ok..
So like I said, the UK pricing for the 130 M Sport is $44k USD (converted from GBP), and the 135i rumor is mid $30k in the US.. Apparently the whole pricing structure is different based on their stronger currency.

For comparison (but why?) the UK 335i range is between $58k and $70k USD. That's a fair bit of change.

Kinda boring in the back, which is OK. I'd rather have boring than ugly.
My first appearance mod would be to move the license plate to the bumper, but I don't know if that trunk be the one we get. The license plate box looks a little small for a US plate, almost like it's a euro-only trunk, but it's probably just an illusion..
I need to make a carbon diffuser to replace the black section of the rear bumper..

I hate the chrome trim strip. I want that black, or gone. I hate chrome though.

Hopefully they've fixed the suspension from the current generation of 1 series, it's pretty bad I hear. That's in wagon-ish form though..
