If you've ever owned an E30, you can see the 135i is more of a 3 series than the E92 is. I don't now if I'm the only one that feels this way, but the elongated swoopiness of the E92 reminds me of a Camaro (particularly the base model Berlinetta), which is a definite thumbs down. Sure, the C pillar and front clip are a bit different, but the overall proportions/silhouette (with the long hood), and stance are too close for comfort in my book. A proper 3 series should be more upright and boxy.
And then this abomination has nothing to do with a 3 series at all. history is going to forget the E90-E93, watch and see.
