I said nothing to the contrary.. it was in fact, the reason why i poiinted it out.

I can't wait to get my hands on one of those puppies...buahahaha.

Diesel

I know, I was very surprised to find that our, though. I would like to drive a 2L TD

[PanamaE30]

i'd like to get one and swap engines with the new twin turbo diesel six... that outta be insane.. 400+ lbft of torque? in a 1series? LOL..

Re: Diesel

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

It's all because of the stupid amounts of torque that diesels put out.

[PanamaE30]

yeah...

When i had my 318ti i was drag racing with a friend in an E46 320d.. gave me a good run for my money.. i inched ahead of him in the quarter. Hell, I was surprised. Haven't underestimated a diesel since, and would like to buy one...

HEY.. there'd be a nice swap.. one of them new diesel sixes in an E30.. that would be badass... tons of power, great fuel economy.

M Coupe is to M Roadster as 1 Series is to Z4

[PanamaE30]

I disagree..

the ever pervasive iDrive has not made it's way into the Z4.. yet..

you know, it's funny.. I like iDrive. I find it simple and logical.. maybe it's because i'm a techie..

even still, though, i would not put it in one of my cars :P

the 1 series DOES look a bit like the protoge, however, it's hood is long enough that it still looks like a BMW. the E46 318ti is sexy. How much could I estimate ot pay to get one here in the states?? The only complaints i would ever have about that car are 1. it looks like a Benz C class compact....minus the supercharger and 2. the headlights are funny.

Give me one.
