I have wedged my 6'1" self in the back of the 135i and I can assure you that it was not a wonderful ride, but probably much more comfortable than the back seat of a 997 (or the trunk of a 370z!).

You make a very good point here... But the 135 is supposed to be BMWs affordable sports coupe.. To compete with nissan and infiniti.. Yes, they did put it in a group of wonderful cars and to even compete with a porsche is a great thing.. but they have also put a lotus in with a gtr a porsche and group of lambos... So they arent really fair all the time.. Before i saw this i always thought the 135 to be a great performer, better than as shown here... Dont get me wrong its a great car.. but you sacrifice looks and space for the car and IMO it doesnt perform much better than the 3 series..
