the 135is was a limited affair and were tough to sell out. most of the cars sticker red around $50k. the number of people willing to spend $50k on a performance coupe is VERY SMALL. Just ask Audi about their TT and its sales figures in the US.
most people looking at the M235 will just think "I should just get a 335". the 1er was unique in its segment....the 2er is far less unique.

For what it's worth, my sticker was almost exactly $50k and I would NOT have gotten it I don't think if I actually had to pay that much. $45k was perrrrrfect.
I think most people completely balk at the notion of our cars costing $50k though from reactions and comments I've seen on the forum. Also crazy that my 2008 135 was $36k in comparison, though it was a complete stripper, like my ex-wife.
