BMW 1 series coupe

[Blenjar]

The leak-riddled embargo on BMW new entry-level 1-Series coupe finally lifts today. By now, you've already seen many of the photos, a video or two, and read the official press releases. To recap the basics, here's what's in store for the US model:

* On sale Spring 2008
* USA gets 2 cars: 128i and 135i
* 128i: 3.0L I6 w/ 230 hp and 200lb-ft
* 135i: 3.0L twin-turbo I6 w/ 300 hp and 300 lb-ft
* 135i mfr.performance stats: 0-62 in 5.3 sec, 155 mph top speed

The rest of the rundown can be found in the BMW press release after the jump. So, is this the modern 2002 BMW would certainly like it to be? Weigh in with your comments. Whatever you want to call it, it looks like it's going to be a fun little car. Hopefully, the pricing's in line with its intent. If only we were getting that hot 2.0L diesel, too...

I would sell my Yaris for that car.
