... don't hate it... don't love it, but definitely don't hate it.

There's a guy who just ran an 11 second quarter mile with one, purely bolt-ons. It can also hang with GTRs around a track in the turns. They are excellent cars. Naysayers be damned.

It's not my taste but if someone were leaning in that direction I would not give them the thumbs down. Just remember, it could have been a Juke.

I actually like the sportier versions of the Juke, whatever they're called, the ones that look most like the insane Juke-R.

I thought about one before I got my 135is. I tried out one without the M Sport package and thought it was ok. What did it in for me was the back seat isn't really that big, and my reasoning was if I'm going to drive something not as fun as the 135is, then it needs to at least have a useful back seat. So now I have a completely worthless back seat.

What's up with BMW and their ugly designs lately? (I mentioned this yesterday when I posted about the i3)

You know I actually like the Juke but I throw it out there because I know so many people hate it. I don't like the sportier versions, at least not in the sense of paying for them. You can buy a base model throw on a cat back and a tune (which is basically what they did) and get the same performance much cheaper.

Considering it has an N55, I wouldn't be surprised if you could get 450HP with bolt ons.

This is true. My back seat needs are now met by the old Grand Cherokee I bought instead of a set of winter tires and wheels for the 135is.

It's pretty hard to get power out of the N55 without spending a lot of money but that's slowly changing. You can get more than that actually, the stock turbo is allegedly good for well over 600 hp. They locked down the computer a lot more though, vs. the N54.
