1 series BMW

Recommended Posts

Im looking for a 1 series BMW as secondary vehicle. What are your reflections on this vehicle. Basically I'm looking for small hatchback with character for a secondary vehicle. my budget is around 4-5 mn, but i'd rather spend 4 than 5. 

I've seen this car and it looks good. are there ppl with experience of this vehicle? and whats the general cost. I'll also consider alternatives if you guys can recommend some.

 

thanks in advance

What about a Honda CRZ is it good

i have heard many issues with the battery and gearbox in CRZ, at least with the 1-series no such worries because its still Robust like other BMWs. But dont expect same performance,Handling like the bigger models. Based on my experienxe its the worst car made by BMW. Mini is also BMW with front wheel drive.

I dont see a point in this car really. Its as heavy as a normal sedan, has a cvt, makes only 130ish hp combined, can barely outrun a 4 door counterpart and you loose the rear space.

Thanks for the advice. Can you recommend another vehicle pls.

Wonder if one can still call it a BMW. Short wheel base+Rear wheel drive= poor handling and cornering.

(Get a Mini!)

actually Chris Harris tested the 2 door 135M with the 8 speed auto and he loved it. Plus there are plenty of videos of the 130i being driven quite well too.

Are you after driving thrill or street cred

It's still a 1 series, thus more or less same driving dynamics.

If you are feeling a little adventurous you can give the grande punto a try. 

Also the i3 is in your budget if thats your kind of thing.

its quite spacious and fast 0- 50kmph in 3s. After that you a bit slower.

are there any i3 s in the country yet,what about prices?

probably only the pure electric version(160km) makes sense to import,because with the Range extender version(240km,650cc engine) the electric tax subsidy will not be given(?).

You might be right on the all electric part, i guess the range extender would probably qualify as a "gasoline hybrid" under our tax scheme.

There are a few up for sale.

I have seen 2-3 on the road as well.
