Just drove a 1 Series

God those AC Schnitzer Type IV's are just sexy on the new cars...

btw, notice how that car is a diesel ;)

I have seen spy photos of the proposed 3 door hatch and it looks really good. Also the sedan that is rumored to be heading towards the States looks good. Also rumored is a coupe version which should hit our shores. I cant wait.

Maybe a 3 door, but that shit is ugly. Looks like a Dodge Magnum that needs Viagra in the middle.

Re: Just drove a 1 Series

Forgot to mention they had a 318ti. I thought they stopped making those.

An E36 318ti? or an E46 318ti? Because, as far as I had understood from press statements, the E46 318ti only made it to this side of the ocean via Argentina...

Here's the pic from the brochure:
Guess my scanner does not like this super glossy paper! he he

Read the brochure well.. It'll say somewhere it's only available in Argentina. Believe me, I checked like mad...

And that's an E46 Compact... I want a 325ti soooo bad... just so i can drop an M54B30 in there and tweak the hell outta it...

That car was in the showroom, I wasn't looking at it but it was there.

Looks like an M-Coupe and a Dodge Magnum that had illegitimate children.

Looks decent though. I like the Mazda 3's.

I want.. Bastards.. my stealer won't bring it.. not even special order :(

I like it, but I've generally liked most of the new designs, with the exception of the 7 (puke) and the 3 *yawn*.

PanamaE30,
Maybe you can get it here & import?

How much for the car? I'd be willing to buy it and drive my ass back here.. Interesting way to break in a car :)

do they have 325ti's? no way in hell i'm going back to a 4 cylinder...

No clue I went in for a drain plug bolt didn't even look at the cars inside, except to notice what was there, I asked the parts guy for the brochures & on my way out (through the service department) saw the 1 so I asked if I could drive it and did. I am going back tomorrow to get the bolt (not a stocking item) so I will go in & see what the story is.

Cool...

Which reminds me.. I've got several dates with the stealership.. the 120i, the 545i, the X3 3.0 and the 645Ci.

That's the nice part about being friends with the salespeople :)
that and the 25% discount buahahaha.

[parkerbink]

No problem. The 6 is very cool I drove one in Beverly Hills in May & one here around July. The power without the California emissions is much better. It's 1,000,000 Pesos!

[PanamaE30]

I can imagine about the power.. We get pure Euro models here so :)

I'm gonna go take a spin the 6 cabrio.. $103,000.... the 120i is at $34,000 with all extras (most of which i wouldn't want).

I think you just explained it perfectly, kudos.

Diesel

God those AC Schnitzer Type IV's are just sexy on the new cars...

yep

btw, notice how that car is a diesel ;)

The fasted European 1 is the 120d. A 2 L diesel. It's faster than the 120i
