Has The New BMW 1-Series Lost The Plot?

[LukeHawk]

I think it will sell just fine.
We may hate it, myself included, but I'm sure many market analysts much smarter than ourselves have worked out what will sell and what won't to the audience at large.

the ugly child that was born after an A45 rapes a hyundai i30N.

Exactly what my son said

Looks better in person.
It has grown on me

Haven't seen one yet. Should soon though.

On a unrelated side note. Saw the new supra last week and its buthole ugly in the flesh vs epic in photos.

Same especially in darker colours, but only the m135i models not the others they look rubbish

Seen a few of them, looks good in other colors yes there is a Crimson color too looks decent.. But the price argument comes in again, might as well buy a 3 series then..

I agree. I was at ABM the other day and was actually impressed by its looks in person. Photos don't do it justice.

Saw a red one at JSN, it looked hot.

Looks good but disappointed with the engine downgrade. I get the improved efficiency and emission argument, but the way 140i tore it apart in a few races, makes you wonder whether it's even worth it. Will also be around the R800k mark. I'll say stick with m140i or m135i, as those will be legendary. For awd experience, and proper super car power, just Stage-2 an R or S3.

This thing looks awesome in the metal, I like it.
And I have no problem that it is FWD now, it really does look the part.

The car in person looks a bit better than pics.
But bottom line is its lost the real m135i and the 140i feel and power.
4 pot turbo can never match the 6.
Thats why bmw has decided not to do another run of the new model.
No face lifts either.so around for 5 years only and they will drop in value bigtime.

I'm loving the looks of the new 1er in full Mperf kit. I think it's a big step up from the F series in terms of build quality. Yes the removal of a 6pot and the FWD on the non "baby m" models is a downer, but I think 9 of 10 buyers who buy the non performance models will really care about it.

I wouldn't mind the new m135 as per pics below at all.

Yes, plot is totally lost!
I drove the 4 cylinder M135i... Sies! 4 cylinder. Might as well get the base 1 series and get the 4 (yuk) cylinder car!

 

[FiRi@Rennzport]

Even if it had a 6 pot, you wouldn't buy it cause it has Nav and a turbo

I would rather buy an a35

 

[SanM]

Would rather get the Golf 7.5 R, 228kw version with the Akropovic exhaust

Checked a grey 135i looks good on person...
