Unhappy Sorry guys I have failed you.

:frown:

I drive 100 miles a day on the 405 freeway in Southern California and I see a lot of test car roaming the freeway. Today, I saw a 130i hatchback on the freeway but I did not have my SLR with me. I am going to carry my slr from now on and hopefully catch 135i for all of us.

I hate that, missing your camera when you need it... and camera phones suck. I keep telling myself to keep a camera in the car for things like that.

I don't understand why there are hatches driving around the US. We're just getting the coupe, correct?

Well, if you saw a 130i hatch, then you didn't really miss catching the 135i for us. While it's mildly novel, a 1er hatch in the wild isn't what we're all holding our breath for. :biggrin:

Oh I forgot to mentioned the most important thing, that is the headlights don't look as bad as they do in the photos.

I'll probably get flamed for this but....

I sure hope BMWNA brings the hatchback to the US too, I'm sure it will sell.. not as good as the coupe, but hey, won't hurt to try eh? hehe

There is a good chance it will come to the states since BMW is testing the hatch here.

Hasn't BMW been testing hatches here from the beginning?

They have test facilities here, so the fact that they are testing it here doesn't mean much.

Just because one was seen does not mean it was being tested here. It could have been from Mexico where they are currently being sold...

Sadly, I don't think we have a prayer for the hatch.

That said, there was another thread with comments from the BMW CEO, which indicated that there would be a coupe/sedan/convertible.

I'd be all in for a sedan in the M trim.


I'm just going to save my cash, and see what's available when my RSX lease is up. If there's a sedan, I'll go with that. If not, a coupe will do nicely.

No, I am sure it wasn't a private vehicle because the roundel was taped up and it has the DST license plate that only distributer can get.
