You like it, I don't. I still prefer the 3 series
The 1 series (hatchback) has been out over here for around 2 years now. Not really a fan of it tbh. Let's hope the coupe is better
And I think BMWed up the current 3 series saloon as far as styling goes...looks hideous
. Again, the coupe looks much better, but then again, there's little simmilarity between the 2. I prefer the previous version of the 3 series...looked so much better...

Is a Mini Cooper a female car too?
I actually think I've seen a greater disparity with Mustang drivers being female than Jettas.
The Hatchback does look Fugly, but if you look at more of the 1 series coupe pics, it has more of the 2002 body model 3 series look. (Which was the best one imo)

My friend was just telling me about this car.. A 335i in a lighter cheaper package... cant beat that!
2008 BMW 128i* $27,000
2008 BMW 135i* $32,000
2007 BMW 328i Sedan $32,400
is it just me or is the 1 series a little too close in price to 3 series?
why not just buy a 3 series?
The last hatchback flopped miserably. I think going downstream is a bad mistake.
the 135i is a 6cil twin turbo 300hp beast and the 328i isnt

I see...... so it's just faster?
It's tinier and even less safe too probably...
It looks okay. I still prefer the 3 series.
1. It's a 135i not 130i, it uses the same engine as the 328i and 335i.
2. The last hatchback did quite well and has acheived a cult following. I happen to know, I own one.
3. BMWs are safe cars I fail to see why they would change that for the 1 series.
All that said I as of right now don't like the 1 series. Now if the hatch back was two door not four, the story might be different.
God's in his heaven, all's right with the world.

a 135i will go faster than a bike around a track...
Look, some people want to turn and stop... Windsors are not in any cars that do that save the Saleen S7, which is uh... not 32K$.
135i + ECU flash = 430+ RWHP
