I hooked up my accelerator to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.

2008 BMW 1-Series Coupe: Official specs for the United States
So has we told you before, BMW will release official images and official details of the US bound BMW 1-Series Coupe on July 1st. Well today is July 1st and here it is. Unfortunately we will not be getting the wonderful diesel variants that get up 58.9mpg like the UK. US will be getting two variants of the BMW 1-Series Coupe including a 128i and the 135i.

The 128i is powered by a 3.0 liter 6-cylinder engine producing 230 horsepower with 200 lb-ft of torque. The 135i has a 3.0 liter 6-clyinder twin-turbo engine that produces 300 horsepower with 300 lb-ft of torque. That gives the 135i the ability to do 0-62mph in 5.3 seconds with a top speed of 155mph.

The BMW 1-Series Coupe goes on sale in the United States in Spring of 2008. Pricing will be announced closer to launch date. Read Article

"Unfortunately we will not be getting the wonderful diesel variants"

stupid, stupid, stupid.... a car this size (especially the hatch back) is going to go right up against the A3 and Golf (err, Rabbit). To not offer a diesel option is just plain stupid.

We are getting diesel--rumors are the 3 and the X5. I drove a 535d recently (Miami), and all I can say is WOW.

A great car from BMW! The car is very nice. It has the best gas engines for USA and Canada. I think the best diesel engines comes coming soon. Wait a little bit. Not all for the same time ...

I'm being unbiased by waiting for a legit comparison by Car and Driver between this and the Toyota Corolla before I make my judgment.
