Bmw 1 Series Twin TurboI was reading Coreys post about the new BMW M3 which features a V8 and fairly bland interior and not much of a revamp on the exterior. To be honest I have to agree it does look to be a bit of a letdown, we have been waiting for the release of this car for some 3 years or so, but I can take a guess it will have an awesome sound and the driving experience will be even better.

However, what has just been announced by BMW seems even more exciting to me. Imagine a 3L sequential twin turbo two door coupe that develops 220kw with 400NM of torque that can push the car to a 0-100 in 5.3 seconds and can offer fuel economy under 10L/100km. Now think of that for only $60k and from Europe. That is the features for the new BMW 135i and for me the first BMW that I would actually start to consider. Available early in 2008, I think this one is going to be very popular - bring on the upgrade parts.
