Anyone else like these? Reminds me of the old Bmw 2002!
You know, I really don't
I find myself disliking every 1 series model BMW announces. (they have a convertible in the works as well is I remember correctly)
I think they are diluting their brand
But... Twin turbo 3.0L straight six with M pack (suspension, brakes and wheels). 225kw. 0 - 100 in 5.3.
Price?
$71k + options. About $85k once you get it on the road with a few creature comforts.
That's ridiculous money for that car.
Might as well go for the WRX, EVO or even the Skyline.
Now I'm even less convinced.
That's a crazy price tag!
Audi S3/4 would be a better buy too... I think
Already have an S3. Time to think about the next car
And you're thinking the 135?
Maybe... Love the thought if that engine in a little coupe
LOL!
You see.... Clarkson and I - peas in a pod
Love this bit:
Of course, because the 3-series became so enormous, BMW was able to launch the 1-series beneath it in the lineup. And that would have been fine but unfortunately it was styled by the same chap who did Corporal Jones’s butcher’s van in Dad’s Army. Even Queen Victoria would call it old-fashioned, with its sit-up-and-beg stance, its almost vertical windscreen and those idiotic swoops on the flanks.
All of this would have been only mildly annoying if it was thrilling to drive and more spacious inside than an art gallery. But it isn’t. The boot is microscopic, the rear legroom is suitable only for people who haven’t been born yet and the big-selling diesel is about as much fun as herpes. If this car were a person, it would be Piers Morgan.
That's the 130. Read his review on the 135. Calls it the best BMW ever.
Hmmm... I missed that.
And now I'm confused. (trying to find where stops talking abt the 130 and starts on the 135)
"The fact of the matter is this. The 135 coupé is the best car BMW makes. I have no hesitation at all, then, in giving this long-awaited return to form the rare accolade of five stars."
Ahhh.... okay, I get it.
Well, in that case, Clarkson has no idea what he's talking about!!
That's still a lot of money for a little small car.
Ha! It *IS* a lot of money. I agree with you there.
Might be fun to drive... I'll give you that.
