Default BMW 1 series for everyone
Ready for delivery I suppose 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.

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

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.

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.
But i do have to say it is not very pretty.
