I like what BMW is trying to do by introducing that car, it's got a very good price tag, seems like a really versatile vehicle, AND it's still RWD.

always thought i would own a bmw someday... but with the new styling direction. I think not.
I think the new style is hideous.
Older style bimmers are hot.

That's kind of sad.

With so many people with that mentality, I'm amazed Lambo, or Ferrari don't shit (yes, shit) out a little dinky $15k that's total junk. I mean, it's a LAMBO OMG.

The BMW 1 Series launch line-up is completed with two versions of the 2.0-litre common-rail diesel engine. The 122bhp BMW 118d averages 50.4mpg while posting a zero to 62mph time of 10 seconds and reaching a top speed of 125mph. The higher-performance 163bhp BMW 120d achieves 49.6mpg yet is capable of a 7.9 second zero to 62mph time and a 137mph top speed. Instant turbo power delivered right up to the red line results in the 120d posting sharper performance figures than its 2.0-litre petrol equivalent.

It says instant turbo power in the 120d, are they saying its turbo? Cause if thats the case, i would definately cop one. Save on insurance cause it 4-door, and its rwd. But only if the price tag is 18k or lower, otherwise one might as well cop a scooby.

sorry man. i would kill a whole family of starving immigrants for a BMW, believe me i would. the z3 is pure sex and then they threw an ass on it and in my opinion it killed it.

no hate. its all in love.
