2008 BMW 1-Series

Ever been to a movie that was hyped up so much, yet you were extremely disappointed after seeing it? It’s a real let-down when you expected a joyous experience, yet were given so little. Worse still is when a movie is touted as a comedy, and ends up being a moody drama.

Conversely, there are some encounters that surprise and entertain, and still keep delivering, no matter what you were expecting. One such experience, is the BMW 1series.Known as the 135i Sport, this coupe version of the BMW 1-series is something that you need to engage in to really understand the significance of what BMW has been able to achieve.

When we were handed the keys, we didn’t fully appreciate what we were about to go through. On paper it all looks pretty good - twin turbo six-cylinder, rear-wheel-drive, six-speed manual, and a coupe body. But it’s how it all comes together that really impresses.
