    But how do those 275s fit under the stock/rolled fenders???

      Man, that drive in the new 328i really has soured me on new BMW's....

      Obfuscation usually requires a lot more words than if you simply focus on fundamental principles, so I’m not at all surprised by the loquaciousness of liberals.

        So, what were the dozen things you hated? Besides the cupholders and the turn signals (I've heard about them, but never tried them myself)...

          Video of the 135i It's not in motion, but they show every angle, the interior, head and tail lights turning on, and start/rev the engine.

            I got to the part with the cupholders and my eyes caught fire - what happened with the rest of the video??

              What's with the bouncing hose at the front of the motor when he starts it? Do all BMW's have that?

                Looks like one of the A/C hoses is being "pushed" up by the air coming off the radiator fan (if it is mechanical...) since it is right behind the fan shroud.

                  Dunno. I don't have any hoses in that area and haven't watched the engine on a newer BMW like that. I would imagine if it wasn't supposed to do that, BMW wouldn't release it in a video.

                        I think it's more of a cinnamon red, but orange-ish in that light. That doesn't help you though.

                          From what I've found, it's "Sedona Red" and is a launch color (kinda like Laguna Seca "Smurf" Blue for the E46 M3), so we'll be seeing a lot of it in official photos. I'm really curious if they'll have Montego Blue available like they do for the regular 1 in Europe or if it will be Le Mans Blue like on the 130i M Sport. Either one would work for me, as would a graphite gray metallic.
