Ok, big rush! I need to sleep right now so not much time to type.. yet another indepth, shoot actually the same day as the TT

It was such an amazing car in the end (passenger only). The sound is stunningly good! bsolutely gorgeous and no idea how you could survive with a 4 cylinders in that car. This oen is throaty, so full, so accomplished!
it push quite strongly too but sadly we couldn't come close to the chassis limits because of the tricky road conditions. the backend seemed obviously pretty lively, but on very cold and wet tarmac, how to proprely judge? :bah:

I am not very proud about the pics actually.. I did better photoshoots probably but that day it was blooooooooooody cold, the sun didn't want to came out, the right locations were always busy or in the shadows

and we didn't have much time to take pics since we drove a bit more than usually... so well, enjoy the pics

nice sig pic 8)

The car looks agressive but still it manages to be subtle. I like that very much.

I agree about the engine comment. This car deserves a bigger engine.

I love the action shots.

Ths for these. They go staright into my TT folder.

All I can say is beautiful pictures as always. This and Komotars F430 in the same evening, a lot of nice pictures tonight.

I love that car!!! Too bad it doesn't have the normal 130i M wheels, cause they're awesome...

I can't say those are the best pictures taken by you but they're damn good anyway

The car has a strange shape/look in my opinion, but it sure sounds good (only heard one so far)!

Maybe not your best pics but still better than most, and with the snow in the background it always looks nice.

BTW, a little error on your homepage - above the pics you have the "title" (17/02/2006 - Bugatti EB110 GT, Corvette Stingray, Lamborghini Diablo, Ferrari 360, Porsche 996 C4S) from the previous update.

Yep I was a bit sad to see those wheels on it :bah: but definitely a good idea to have winter tires

and since usually winter tires go with winter wheels :roll:

sweet pics. got to love the cold weather

about how much are those costing?

TT · 02-21-2006, 04:16 PM

Basic price is around 50k Swiss francs.. that's something like 38k USD

dutchmasterflex · 02-21-2006, 04:44 PM

Lucky you!

BMW is sure taking their time to bring the 1er over here to the states..

It's a shame the conditions werent on your side, but the pics are still great!

must of been a real fun day sliding around in little beast

ARMAN · 02-21-2006, 05:06 PM

Great pics niar the snow plug

So is it an "M" or it has M paket?

im confused

TT · 02-21-2006, 05:10 PM

There is no real M 1-Series. This is a 130i with the optional M sport package

ARMAN · 02-21-2006, 05:17 PM

oh i see, and there will be none?

This one is very good looking but not too agressive imo

Pehtren · 02-21-2006, 05:21 PM

^^yes no M1, as i think you know that BMW had an M1 similar to the laborghini shape somewhere in 1980-70...

But i think there are good chances that the most powerfull engine will be 3.0 turbo...and that will be kinda "M1". 8)

Nice in depth. The pics aren't your best but the drifting pic in the snow is very cool
