aliluya 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 The looks of the 1 series has grown on me ... but i still feel lucky that i got the last of the compacts, because i reckon the compacts looks better than the 1 series ... They also handle quite nicely tho ... but the overall interior seems a little on the budget side .... I'd give it a 6.8/10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 3 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 I think they look quite reasonable and that's including their stock ride height, need to see one pimped out to really comment Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1039 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 Alright just been looking at the new 1 series and the prices are not that bad , wondered what anyones thoughts are on them? As standard they are a bit ugly ...however I saw one the other day on 18inch rims they looked about 8inch wide .. with some sort of m-tech bodykit on it .. and man ... it looked fantastic! ... also .. go for the bigger ltr one ...

Tommy 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 bmw where talking about a 130i and also a M1 which mite be a bit'o'fun. I still think there a little dear tho, as most new BMWs. But hey i,m just baised, I work for Peugeot haha Cum buy a 407 haha :thumb: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cainchapman 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 Then 130i should be a ball tearer. I don't think I could justify spending the extra money over a Supercharged Mini convertible though. 120d is the best bang for buck. Don't like the sag in the middle of the car either (side view).

Surge 1 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 (edited) Re: Naming of the series. I can see the marketing board holding up a sign saying "It's the one" etc... Then the motorsport division going "There's already an M1" Rumour has it, if there is going to be an M 1-series it will be called the M2. The design is growing on me, saw a nice white one the other day, didn't look too bad at all. Edited March 30, 2005 by Surge Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 34 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 A BMW hatch and 4x4 will prob never sit quite right in my head, but that said, I really like the front and side styling on the one. I don't like the rear though - not really what I'd expect from a bimmer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadowninja 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 I kinda like it, its slowly growing on me, like the new 5er & 7er. One parks next door to me at home, with an Msport kit on it it'd be a lot nicer, but aint that the case with most bimmers? Anyone got a picture of a new 7-series with a body kit on it?

Viking 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 I think they are quite sexy, especially when an ACS kit is thrown on. Tho the video I have somewhere of a 120d drifting around a track is somewhat wrong, but cool Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BMW POWER 2 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 Well, i think it is not nice. Same as every one else has said, MTECH need to get a hold of it. Chris bangle has gone a bit too far this time. I can put up with his latest 7, but now, hes just going crazy. Dad told me that they handle really well , because they are a bit like the Mini, one wheel in each corner. I think they share the same (or similar) chassis as... i forgot, but anyway. Check the concept coupe pic i have attached........ It will shatter the image of BMW (just about) always being beautiful cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 34 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 (edited) Shoot it!!!!!!!!!!! :rambo: :rambo: :rambo: Seriously though - as with the one I like the front and sides front of the B pillar. What the should have done is made one with the rear based on the Z3/4 m coupes. Now that would look sweet. Edit meant m coupe, not m raodster.

Carl 3 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 (edited) i herd that the 1 series id the best handling bmw i quite like it . its growing on me. dont really dig 4-door hatches they should do a 2door one make it to compete with audi s3 If you get the BMW quarterly magazine it explained a few things about it but it does handle extremely well as it's the first BMW to get the new suspension setup which is going into the next 3 series lineup. It doesn't get the new engine setup, the 20% lightened one, but for the price you are getting a really good performer.Looks on the other hand, as I said before, it's actually quite nice when you consider its ride height. A mtech 1 would truly be badass but I wreckon it'll end up lookin like a grown up M Coupe... Edited March 30, 2005 by ///Carl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
