Not always true, we went to buy an E92, but my wife didn't like the large size or the styling (neither do I) and we half heartedly looked at the E90, but didn't really want a sedan at the time. The 135i was a great fit for our needs, smaller, lighter and sportier than the 335i and while cheaper, still not a play for a market that BMW didn't have a pretty firm grasp on at the time.
