Dealers had opinion after seeing 135i

NewhouseEnt · 08-01-2007, 08:58 PM

I was at Shelly BMW today getting my first service (17,000 miles on 335i Sedan) and asked 4 different people about their experience with the 135i.
Unanimously, they said it was gorgeous. Not one complaint. All said it looks the same size visibly, as the 335i coupe. They said just looking at it, that was their view that there very little size difference, even though it is of course smaller.
They also said when sitting in it, it was barely any different in feel and size as the 335i, except not so many toys. In fact they could really tell little difference from sitting in it at all. Three of the guys were over 5’10”
Unanimously they loved it and said they would buy one in a second. All said it was aggressive, gorgeous and thought the bullshit about the lower rockers was childish and ignorant. They were one finance manager, and 3 service techs, all indecently asked without the others hearing each other.
All four said it was brilliant. One of the best products by BMW in 20 years.

Yeah, like they have no motivation to talk the car up to a potential customer. It'll surely be a great car, but I'm not digging the styling.

What exactly did you expect them to say?
