What do you guys think about the little turbo charged BMW coupe? Thing looks sweet on paper! 300hp I6 twin turbo!

The engine specs look great, but that car is ugly IMO. It looks like they left a 3 series in the dryer too long.

Saw a couple of the 120s in Mexico, looks a little wierd, but with the 335 twin turbo motor it'll sure scoot. There are already chips out for the 335 that give it any easy 50+ hp. Hopefully we will get a diesel version too. Maybe it'll be one of those things that grow on us like the Mcoupe
