Cool Zoeb should have waited!!!

They're finally bringing the BMW 1-series over, but believe it or not they're stuffing the 300hp twin-turbo 3.0 in it too (135i). Thats nearly 1000 lbs lighter than the 335i (3570lbs vs. 2600lbs, same as a new mini S!) and will certainly cost thousands of dollars less, it even gets six-piston brakes and a helical LSD the 335 doesnt, and with how easily their getting more power out of that turbo 3.0 this thing should be a complete giant killer.

Man the RS3s are damn sexy.. I would get one if they don't have those little minor problems famous on all Audi's and VWs. I would have bought and RS4.

Bimmers are nice but they cost too much for insurance and repair. don't even want to try doing it myself.

I heart that hatch! You can even leave the rear door drawing on it too!

Pretty sure they're only going to bring the coupe in only (at first).
