BMW 1 series for everyone
 

Ready for delivery I suppose :D I like it very much and I think i´ll like it even more when I see it in the flesh as was the case with all recent BMWs.

Mmmmm .... wich one is mine ? I still dont like it , is so ugly , but i bet that i will like it more in person too :wink:

If they get a two door M version I'll be happy until then this is way too slow for a BMW as said by Top Gear "slow for the 60's" times. I'd stick to a VW or Ford

that's a swedish police car...

why do they all have plates already?

I noticed the same.. all with plates.. and a bit big for a press fleet I think

Well if someone can read swedish here´s the article

http://www.autopower.se/reportage/1serien/dealershow/

maybe it's one truck for every car mag in the world so as to sway their opinion :wink:

maybe theyre to show around the country, ive seen this twice, with the sl while i was in florence they had a bunch of em, with plaques and with the 3 series compact when i was in germany i saw the same thing, so maybe theyre for people working at bmw and their job is to show em

I agree but i doubt itll happen since that is what the z4 is for. but an m version of the z4 would be greatly appreciated.

looks like a lowered X3 ............. I would definitely use the money to buy something else

Now that what I cal UGLY, even the Golf is better that this :(

I think the car is not that slow even for a BWM.
The petrol version 120i has 150bhp.

The Diesel version has 163 Bhp
0-60: 7.9secs
top speed of 137mph.

If u compare that with the Audi a3 2.0 TDI
Power: 140 Bhp
0-60: 9.5 secs
top speed of 129mph.

I think it is very good and in a years time you'll see them everywhere. :D
But i do have to say it is not very pretty. :lol:

i think everyone will agree that BMW screw this one!

on the other side i wouldn't care to own one

I'd like to point out one more time that this is the ONLY RWD car in its class ;)

Thats why I like it... :wink:

this would be a great college car.

With such low horsepower rating, I don't think a RWD platform will make alot of difference. RWD is an advantage, but with tons of bad points, I think the RWD won't make up for it. For one, the Mazda 3 Hatchback give it a good run for the money.

PS. sorry about the big quote... :wink:

The article says that the cars will be at their first customers the 18th of September. But these cars are on their way to the introducing show by BMW probably to take place in Sweden and/or Norway.

They also say that instead of twisting the key to start the engine they have gone for a similar solution as in the Honda S2000 with an engine start button, sweet :-)

Crap. . .

Here´s a pic of that not only the button bit look at the key, pretty damn cool for such a small car :D

I don't like the 1 series, I prefer the 2 series...but if someone gave it to me, i won't refuse :wink:

Well I'm not really a fan of the first moment for the BMW 1 design, but it's not that bad looking either and if you see the competetion... There aren't many good looking middle class hatchbacks. The A3 is very nice IMO, and the alfa 147 is nice, but the rest (Golf,307,...) is ok. Not ugly, but nothing special. This is something different at least. And since it's a BMW it will probably also drive better.

So I'm looking forward to this. Oh and 163hp from a 2.0 turbo diesel engine :shock: That is a lot!! 7.9sec 0-60mph = very impressive

It's easiy: if it is not a RWD (or at least AWD) then it's not a car. So basicaly 1 series is the only car in class ...

:D :D :D
