When I first saw it in spy pics I thought it was seriously uncool, when I later saw the production version I still was a bit unsure about it, but after seeing it in real life I can say it definately grabs your attention in a positive way! I'd say it's cool.

I didn't care so much about the 135i until I saw it on a GT5 Prologue vid (strangely). And then there was the 1 Series tii concept. That's a hot car.


If this car makes it into production in any form, I'd vote it subzero...possibly. Till then, I'm leaning on cool...but not quite.

definitely a cool car although from what i read in reviews it could've been better... the tii concept sounds perfect
i might consider this car (used) in a couple of years once i have a decent job

Sorry, but Seriously Uncool.

Heil, that version is a bit better. . . but it is still not easy on the eyes.

I think the Hatchback has better overall shape.

tii is definitely sub zero.. and I always thought the 1-series was cool, coupe or hatch.

Since the car weighs so much I think I'd rather go with the extra space of the hatch over the coupe.

Should be cool to see Hartge shoehorn the V10 into this little car

VERY COOL for me as I see it to be the E30's continuator

only if it wasn't so bloody expensive, I'd buy it

What i think is hilarious is that , 90% of the cars on this "cool wall" would be in completely different categories if this were Top Gear. For instance, pretty much every Ferrari would be in the Uncool to seriously uncool section cuz if you drive one on a daily basis, people know that you are just making up for lacking in other areas.
Almost as bad are folks who wear Ferrari gear at races, yet don't actually own the or a car.
Beautiful...but NOT for driving 650 mph to work.

Little "pocket rocket" but expensive one, there are cheaper ways to put a smile on your face
