    Disgusting that new BMWs would come with "leatherette".


    Saab stepped its game up in the early 2000s, leather was standard and you could special order cloth if you were that desperate for it.

      Leather is only optional on some MB models as well.

        Is it weird I prefer cloth? In other news all this damn nice weather I'm getting the itch to get my iX back on the road. I'm over this Honda dd bullshit.

          Saab 9-3 is the only leather that I've ever sat in that didn't feel like it was laminated. I drove the C class, 1 series, and 3 before getting my CTS Coupe, all were horribly underwhelming.

          And it appears as though I'm about the only one that thinks that the 1 series has the fugliest proportions of any car on the market today? Cab is way to big for the rest of it, the whole thing just looks broken.

            1 series is an extremely handsome car in my opinion. And they handle pretty good too!

              Lol Joel is just mad that he doesn't own one...

              I would KILL for a 1 Series M. It's such a sexy little car. But most of all, I absolutely love the F10 M5. I think it looks way more aggressive and mean compared to the E90. I even like it over an E39 M5... Lol

                I could have saved a lot of money if I'd gotten one instead of the Coupe. Hell, I could have saved if I had gotten the M (before they sold out). No one will ever complain about a small, lightweight, high-powered coupe. That doesn't make it less fugly.

                  Ughh you're just trapped by the radical styling of the 'Murcan coupe. Class is so hard to find anymore. :( I think the modest, classic styling of the 1 M is much more attractive than the CTS. To each his own!

                      I'm with joel on the front end at least, the lights and gaping intake make it look bulging, I still like it though, even if it isn't the prettiest. Id take it over an E92 M3 anyday and I think the E92 M3 looks better.

                        Just a 135i with a manual is perfect. Even better a 135is omg those sound so fucking badass.

                          I don't really like the 1 styling that much but you actually think this looks good

                                was it the road that goes from the nursery over to the QFC?

                                I broke a swaybar mount on my first car on that road.
