Default The 1-Series in the metal isn't bad at all!!!!

First of all, despite I had my camera, no pics.. sadly the girl driving the silver 1-Series was not very aware about where to go and did so many line changes that after a while (waiting for the sun not to be in the way), I simply lost her (and she simply crashed the car against a bus...)..

Anyway, my point... for those of you who saw a 6-Series in the metal, you have to agree it is completely different.. not a single picture can really show how the car really is.. it is often like this, but with banglized Bimmers it is even more dramatic.

And for the 1-Series it's even more incredible! I mean, the 6-Series is already cool in picture while the 1 is basically butt ugly

Not when you are next to it damg! Actually, all of a sudden I wanted one! No shit, it's really totally different. all the proportions are ok, it is a cute hatchback, good for ladies or lads, but at the same time it looks way more "grown up" than your regular Golf, Astra you name it...

There was two, a silver one (wich I followed) and a dark grey one (parked when I found them), both with advertising writings on the sides and Zurich plates.. so just an advertising tour IMO... and both were gorgeous!

I know you will never believe me and probably many will keep hating it even in the metal, but it's a great result IMO! And I won't be surprised if sales will rocket very high right away!

I believe, the BMW's new way of design is very sexy.

I agree, almost all the BMW's look too edgy and too fidly in the magazines. But in real life they somehow look very smooth and flowing, its weird

I just think that the front lights look a bit strange but I sure hope it will be the same as with the 6, as you say. I thought the 6 was beautiful in the pictures but in the flesh it´s just breathtaking :shock: :shock:

Bad thing is i´m gonna have to wait at least a couple of months to see the 1 in the metal

I saw one too in Italy, a dark blue 120i. The front and back headlamps were partially covered, like with a testcar... And since I've seen it I like it a lot more.

It's funny how that works! Many cars look better in the metal.

I hope you're right about the 1 series. I was disapointed when I saw the X3 in the streets. It is just as ugly in real life as in the pictures.

Well that's a good news, some cars look even worse, like Cayenne, which still to me doesn't deserve the title Porsche. I thought Murcielago didn't look as good as in photos. But 1-Series, i will have to wait until i go to Europe some time next year(?)
