Car and Driver=IDIOT!
Can you believe that C&D would say the 135i will start in the high 30's?? That would be so stupid!! Do they understand that the 335i starts at $40,800?? To me high 30's means like 38! I would easliy pay 2K more for a 335i!! Car magazines make me excited and furious at the same time!

Look at it this way... Who cares, now you can choose between the 2 cars... Even if they were equal in price I'd choose the one I liked the most. One is more performance orientated, one has more luxury. Plus, C&D don't know, they are just guessing. |

Watch and see, when US market 1 series pricing hits, there's gonna be alot of pissed off people in here. C&D doesn't randomly pull pricing out of their hat....
Instead, C&D is a major industry rag, and don't think that they are not in continous contact with knowledgeable and informed people inside all car companies. We already had one 1 addicts contributor with inside knowledge say the 135i was going to start about 3K less than the 335i. Sure, I'd like to see a 32K-34K starting price too, we all want something for nothing, but thats going to end up being a pipe dream. So word to the wise, put in some more overtime at your cubicle, and get prepared to take it like a man. BMW is not going to start giving a car away that goes 0-60 in less than 5 seconds. Speed costs money, how fast do you want to spend? |

Finally, someone has said it!
Come to think of it, I'm also tired of the photoshops, especailly the photoshop requests. If you really want to see it in a different color, just do it yourself. I'm as tired as the next guy with Sedona Red, but that's life. The other colors will come out soon enough. |

YEA!! These car magazines have made so many pricing speculations...I remember the may C&D stated the 128i starting at 25K with the 135i starting at 31-32K. Now there in the High 30's!!?? Like I said, they know nothing!

They could have easily meant high 30's for a reasonably optioned 135. I don't care about pricing speculation either at this point, but HIGH 30s sounds a little off. Fully optioned would put it close to the 335xi optioned auto I wanted originally. I'm not buying it. Throw another e-pinion onto the pile.

Hard to say which is more funny...
people guessing at pricing, or those arguing with them about it.

Damn it! Your right. I thought I read it other wise. We will know soon enough. I'm more worried by the sinking $. Most are hoping for low 30's. Mid 30's would be reasonable. High 30's STARTING makes no sense. Not unless the 3 series is moving up as well from the sinking $.
