135i really the way to go?

Redline · 10-25-2007, 03:01 AM

Before 135i news came out, I was planning on getting a JDM Civic Type r by the time it comes out, which should be 2010-2011. A while from now , but I just bought a new car this year so it should be a okay wait.

As far as I know JDM Civic type r has 4 doors, Brembos, Recaros, VTEC 9k rpm!, 2.0L N/A, LSD, only weighs like 2700lbs+, racing suspension ,Light weight 18" rims, and would cost about $ 24-25k msrp if it is about the same as the Integra type r.

Bmw is a great car however I feel like the type r offers more toys for the price compared to the 135i.
Plus the fact that it isn't even N/A , or in my oppinion "light" for a "small car".

Maybe I'll get both cars, but I'm leaning towards Type R right now more...however, the Tii still interests me so I'll see what that has to offer besides the cool buckets, carbon fibers, and the rims.:roundel:

I know your not comparing to a civic to a 135i...135i is so much better!

you cant really compare them, they are to totally different cars in to totally different markets. You may get more "toys", hence the Brembos and LSD, but your wont have 300hp and 300lbft at 1400rpm. And lets not get into the luxury. lastly the 135i will be at least 10k more so its in no way a comparison the 135 will do everythin better but ur also paying more. Honestly if your comparing the two id say stick wit the civic.
