We'll either mustang you get power out of the factory. It also has an insane aftermarket scene. It'll be cheaper to maintain as well.

We want the Yuropoor audience.

I mean, the N54 engine is a tuner's dream but fuck me that chassis is literal autism on wheels. Would get a 335 which looks less retarded but a good one at 17k is gonna have like over 100k miles.

I'm not fucking with a BMW engine over 100k miles

Definitely the musti

The mustang can make 430whp with bolt ons, and you dont have to worry about FI problems. Especially when you boost the factory turbos to death. Then theres always the FI option for the mustang.

Trc has a mustang on their channel, 1000hp DD on bone stock motor. I think it has twin 62mms

135i looks great what are you talking about, I think its the best look they have had since the 90s.
I knew a BMW salesman and he let use their super secret dealer database and I saw how much every one of these sold for in the entire midwest int he past 2 years.

A pre-2010 is worth about $12000 in good condition. A post 2011 is worth about $17000. The new ones have the N55 engine which is supposedly more reliable because its only got one turbo and that was the main issue with this car.

I didn't see a dealer pay more than $12,000 for one in the last 2 years in the database so use this info when you are pricing these. Most were listed way too high but I had no trouble talking them down when I bought mine.

The ZF 6 speed transmission in the pre 2010 autos is really great. Shifts in .2 milliseconds. The DCT in post 2011s shifts .18. The post 2011s also come with the ZF 8 speed instead of 6 speed which is even better than the ZF6 and has the slick joystick shifter.
Unless you must have a clutch the autos perform better no matter what year.
You should be able to find one with ///M parts and you probably wont have to pay a premium for them anymore. I didn't when I bought mine.

The 1 series ///M has an N54 engine that they tuned an extra 30hp into. They are rare and expensive because everyone wants one, and while cool you can probably get an older pre 2010 to run just as well if you are interested in modding. Some reviewers even thought the N54 performed the same in both true ///M version and the regular 135i at 330hp.

I think if you want to get a 335i you should try to get a 2008 or earlier as the engine was more powerful that year than later years.

The N54 and N55 are great engines and BMW still uses them in Z4s.

I've personally always been cool on Mustangs but havn't owned one so I can't help you with that choice. I hate the mustang look from the early 2010s but if you dont like the 135i maybe you should lean that way.

Anyway hope this is helpful.

Get it instead of the 335i coupe

>I want to decide on the 135i or 2011+ Mustang GT, but I cant get over how fucking retarded the 135i looks, I mean what was BMW thinking?

Agreed. The 135i looks fucking stupid.

Anyways, with that said, the 135i is a good car and you have some room for modifications - but keep in mind, you're looking at a maximum of 350~ whp just the most basic tuning and bolt ons possible. If you're someone that is going to crave more, then look for a different car
