What BMW has obtained is a design that polarises. It is not a beautiful design in a classic manner, but it's a design that stands out and appeal to enthusiasts and friends of traditional BMW values.

If you don't like it don't buy it and stop complaining.
If you want a car with a design language from early 90's, buy an A3.

Funny how some people rule out a model as easy as that just because it's not up to their taste. Guys if you don't like it, stop the critics and don't forget that others might like it. I personally don't like that 1-series M or not but that's ok, it happens. That's why BMW have built several series and models for all tastes.

That M3 DTM is so hot but I prefer the M3 GT2 in ALMS.

I actually think this ///m135i is awesome, even if we don't all like the looks. I mean no one is offering a RWD compact sportshatch in the luxury segment. So top it off with ///m performance treatment is a killer combo. I think next gen a3 and a-class are front drivers, so this is a winner. I really wish this would come to the states, but I guess the x1///m35i is more our cup of tea and they prob wouldn't offer both.

First I thought the new AMG A class looks very sporty and cool; now looking at the //M 135i in video, gotta say Bimmer nails it, again.

What do you mean Salesmen don't qualify? We are enthusiasts too, just like you.

I was a BMW Driver long before I started selling parts.
