I may have a biased view, but I actually like the look of the 1 series better...

Energy 10-23-2013 10:42 PM

Small, RWD, turbo, 6 speed manual?! And no headlights connected to the kidneys either?

Thank you BMW!

The mirrors are copying Audi though.

v_tec 10-23-2013 10:45 PM

I wonder how this one will be priced...

Starting at 38-9k?

Timpo 10-23-2013 10:46 PM

i can't even tell if that thing is a 1 or 3 series anymore

Akinari 10-23-2013 10:51 PM

Can't say I'm a fan. The 1-Series has become in my mind, one of those timeless and uniquely original cars that simply can't be replaced.

dared3vil0 10-23-2013 11:28 PM

If this is under 40k i'm VERY interested...

BMW is like the car version of Apple. Make it and people will find an excuse to buy it.

I like this better than both the 1 and the 3 series coupe. IIRC BMW said they wanted to make a car closer to the roots of the early 3 series not the bloated version it is these days.

wstce92 10-24-2013 01:43 AM

hopefully they'll do a full blown M2

SB7 10-24-2013 05:14 AM

they must.

Wish it had a sweet NA I6 powerplant rather than crappy forced-induction.

My last car was a 135i and I felt that the engine was the worst part of the entire package

GG 10-24-2013 10:16 AM

^

why wats wrong with the engine?

rawr 10-24-2013 10:18 AM

^whys that? The n54, despite the hpfp issues, should be a pretty potent engine. Last time I drove one, felt quite smooth. Why didn't you like it?

nma 10-24-2013 10:37 AM

135 engine is pretty nice.... inline 6 twin turbo, how can you complain

GG 10-24-2013 10:38 AM

^

my thoughts exactly


driven 335/135i on numerous occasions and i didnt find anything wrong with the engine

yray 10-24-2013 10:42 AM

Peak torque rpm was too low for him

multicartual 10-24-2013 10:53 AM

Stock the motor was just uber-boring

I leased the car because I loved the look and I wanted to know what owning a new BMW was like. The car couldn't chirp the tires into second after a few months of owning it and everything about the car was pretty numb. The e-diff sucks.

Having said that, I loved the interior, seats, stereo, brakes, looks, handling, and ride.

Worst parts were the engine and a close second, the diff.

The stock N54 has no top end either, the power dies right at 5500 RPM.

Ummm...isn't this thing just a 1 series coupe, in the same way that the 4 series is just a 3 series coupe?

I find that the N54 is a really good engine. Silky smooth power delivery throughout the rev range. And the potential for massive power is really appealing too.

I guarantee that it wont even be close to that. I'd guess 55k
Also I wonder when they are going to release the gran coupe, touring, minivan convertible, convertible 4 door, hatchback, convertible coupe, and GT hatchback crossover version of it.

HonestTea 10-24-2013 12:53 PM

Not bad BMW..Not Bad...

Gonna wait on pricing
