The BMW 135i Overview

The Lexus IS350 Overview

What BMW offers…

• The 135i Coupe provides a choice of 6-speed manual or 7-speed DCT, and either provides a no-compromise sport-driving experience.
• The 135i’s TwinPower Turbo 3.0-liter inline-6 nearly matches the IS350 in horsepower while providing more torque and broader powerband–1300-5000 rpm.
• With its standard 6-manual the 135i manages 5.1 seconds 0-60 mph; the 7-speed DCT cuts that to 5.0.
• Rain-sensing wipers, 12-way power seats with memory, retractable headlight washers, staggered 18-inch wheels and sport suspension are all standard on the 135i.
• BMW’s navigation system includes a brilliant 8.8-inch display, 80 GB hard drive with 12 GB music collection, and the console-mounted iDrive controller allows instant access to all features through the controller, Direct Access buttons, or Programmable Memory Keys.
• BMW ConnectedDrive provides such features as BMW Apps, Enhanced Bluetooth, Search, MyInfo, and Text-to-Speech plus downloadable email, calendar and recent-call phone lists directly to the iDrive display.
• The 135i’s standard bi-Xenon headlights are auto-leveling and Adaptive, and include cornering and additional LED lighting front and rear.
• Even with its shorter wheelbase and overall length, the 135i boasts 2 inches more legroom in the rear.
• BMW also includes larger brakes to counter the 135i’s higher performance: 13.7-inch front / 13.2-inch rear.
• BMW includes a 4-year/50,000-mile Full Maintenance Warranty, which covers wear items as well as scheduled maintenance. That means no service cost for the entire warranty period.

What Lexus doesn’t…

• The Lexus IS350 offers no drivetrain choice, with the company’s rear-drive chassis and 6-speed automatic as its only powertrain.
• Although the IS350’s 3.5-liter, 306-hp V-6 claims more horsepower on paper, its powerband is far narrower, with a torque peak of 277 lb-ft. @ 4800 rpm.
• The IS performance figures are also well off BMW’s pace, with Lexus claiming a 5.6 second 0-60 time.
• The Lexus includes 10-way power seats but memory is optional. Rain-sensor, headlight washers, 18-inch wheels and sport suspension all are extra cost.
• Lexus’ navigation system features a hard-drive data base, but uses an antiquated touch-screen interface. The system offers no music collection, Direct Access buttons nor Programmable Memory Keys, and has only a 7-inch display.
• Lexus offers Enhanced Bluetooth, destination assistance and eDestination (similar to BMW Search), but has nothing like BMW Apps, downloadable email, Text-to-Speech or recent-call lists.
• The IS350 includes bi-Xenon headlights with auto-leveling, but no adaptive capability nor active cornering lights. LED daytime driving lights are standard.
• Though larger overall–180.3 inches, with a 107.4-in. wheelbase–the IS has only 30.1 inches of rear legroom.
• Despite a 90-150-lb greater curb weight, the IS features smaller brakes: 13.2-inch front / 12.2-inch rear.
• Lexus offers the same warranty period, but does not include maintenance. Edmunds.com estimates maintenance cost for the IS350 as $2,052 for the first three years; that’s an additional $57 per month.
