Yeah, it looked muscular as fuck on TG... plus with that engine, the scope for tuning will be brilliant since the 'standard' x35i engined cars aren't hard to get up to near 400/400 from what I've read.


Cheers,

A guy local to me got one yesterday in that same orange colour. Looks so wide arches are massive for the size of car. Maybe looks like its sits a little high though

It's quick, clearly very capable but I just don't find it appealing.

Don't get me wrong, if I had an extra Ł460,000 then I'd probably plump for the Jag as well.

I don't think you'd be able to buy a mint E30 and do a good turbo conversion for Ł20k all in mate.

I like it a lot, Especially the wide stance but I just find the 1 series cars a bit girly. I would definitely have new shape M3 over it.

Have to agree, very girly little thing. Like it but would feel a bit of a Pratt driving one.

When i went there 'Ring in April there was a lad there with the first one they had sold apparently. He was from Cananda and had flew over to pick it up from the factory then drove it to the Ring for a few days, he was then driving it back the factory, flying home then BMW was shipping his car to him. Pretty cool! It looked mega though, he was proper impressed with it, said it was doing 270km/h pretty easy on the autobahns...

I'd have one. But I'd rather have that E30 thats been doing the rounds on the net, the no expense spared one built from a new shell with the latest M3 V10 fitted. It is fucking amazing. I'd post a link to youtube, but can't as work don't allow anything fun. Check it out vs the Porsche GT3RS.

Noddy car

It's not even a 1 series because they're so shit, it's a cut down e46 m3 underneath with 1 series skin. No doubt it's technically good but at 40k it looks pricey. I'd have a cayman s anyday and pay the extra.

Least he run it in, round the ring for the first 1000 miles, does that void the warranty?

I watched top gear at lunch time and the 1M feature was pretty cool. It looks a fair tool

The feature on the big stupid tank thing kinda sucked though.

its a smaller version of an m3.. its something different. fair play the price doesnt justify it but i dont think it looks girly at all. it has a lot of potential. i know for a fact id rather have one of these than an m3 - m3s are a very common car now days. see them around all the time!!
