2008 BMW 135i 2 Door Coupe

BMW 1 Series Photos

BMW USA announced a new line of BMW vehicles for the US market. The 2008 135i  will be arriving in the Spring of 2008. We believe that the 135i will be just the start of a new line of fuel efficient, entry level cars for the US market. The  135i will get about 31 miles per gallon with its 306 HP twin-turbo engine.

Wow..can you imagine what 300 HP in this small frame will be like to drive?  Start smiling BMW 135i shoppers and get on our notification list!  If the demand continues to be this strong, 2008 could be "The Year of The 1".

The 135i will be released as 2 door coupe but a four door sedan may be in the works for the US market.  European BMW 1 series cars are offered in both a coupe and a 4 door model.  We would also like to see a version like the BMW 120d come to the USA since it would give consumers an option to power their cars with a sporty diesel engine.

You can read the BMW Announcement that was posted on the Internet about the 135i.

With its direct piezo gasoline injectors, twin low-mass turbochargers and air-to-air intercooler, optimum performance and economy is achieved with no loss in engine response.

For the 135i Convertible, acceleration from 0-62 mph is accomplished in 5.6 seconds and top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph. Both engines feature on-demand engine coolant pumps that improve fuel economy and reduce parasitic losses for increased efficiency.

BMW 120d Escorts Italian Bride & Groom

2007 BMW 120d in Italy

Rome - In June 2007 I noticed a bride and groom that came to the Roman Coliseum to shoot their wedding photos.  The BMW 120d Series four door sedan was their wedding vehicle.  When will a BMW 1 series Diesel come to the USA?  No one knows, but we can only hope.  The four door 1 Series cars are not planned to be in the USA in 2008 but who knows what the future will hold. 

Read about the European 1 Series diesel coupes that are going on sale in the UK this November.

The 2008 BMW 135i 2-door coupe is what will arrive in 2008 but as you can see from the photos, the BMW 120 d sedan is a good looking car and large enough for a bride's dress!

Now the bigger question is why does the groom have a broken hand and foot?  If it was a pre-martial argument..we know who won the fight!
