1 Series Real Life Pics, 135i next to E46 Coupe +black 1er

[Zafiro]

Compare to E46, 135i look like a giant

It's a very nice car... but i dont think the grille and headlights suit the rest of the car... its extremely aggresive but has no real aggression at the front

I agree it miss the aggresivness but I dont agree it doesnt suit the car. Suits perfectly fine on my 1-series and IRL even better.

Look closely at the photos of the red 135i, it has a different front calliper than other BMWs. This one has BMW written on it, and it looks like a 4 pot or 6 pot front calliper.

"The BMW 135i Coupe M Sports Suspension also comes with a high-performance brake system incorporating six-piston fixed calipers on the front axle and two-piston fixed calipers at the rear."

Love the black one.

Thanks mate, I have read about it before and have completely forgotten about it.

I am surprised to see the 135i looks a lot bigger and chunkier than the E46 coupe.

That's kind of what I have said before it looks like a frightened kitten. I had no idea that it is bigger from the front than the E46 coupe, though it's not as wide.

Just a quick question, is the 1er Coupe the only model in the BMW line-up which has that centre-positioned brake light on the outside of the car rather than just inside the rear-windshield?

It looks really good with that positioned on the lip of the Bangle Butt spoiler.. adds a more horizontal look to the rear which is important since the 1er Coupe is such a tall coupe for its length.

Have to also say BMW did a great job in creating an appealing rear-light design after VW stole their rear-light design from the CS1 Concept.

By having the rear-light as a one-piece design rather than splitting it in two, they've made it look a whole lot more aggressive. That really is one hott lookin' car!

I think the 6 series also has that (at least after the face lift - not sure about before the face lift).

After FL.

Love the black one.

Same here!!

Thanks Sunny and Tycoon for the info. Yeh, I just did a quick pic' search and my goodness does the facelifted 6er rear end look bad (IMO ofcourse), especially how they've added the brake-light smack-bang in the middle of that gorgeously sculptured Bangle Butt. Ruins the smooth flowing lines of the 6er's rear end.

By the way, here's how their profiles line up.
