I have to say; I like it the hard top alot.
If BMW offers that car married with any of the 3 diesels in the article and keep it under $35000. I might be looking at my next car __________________  318ti, sport, hellrot, 05/95 Munich, Germany | | | | | 05-03-2007, 07:53 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 |
Wow, the pictures makes me sick. It looks like an m5 did too much crack and is now anerexic. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone

It's not very attractive. It is a shame people in the US hate hatchbacks for some reason. I think the 2dr hatch version is much better looking, as well as much more functional. The tii version also sounds very cool, hope they make it in a touring. __________________

The true disappointment comes from the fact that they dare call it an M1. __________________

You know; no one liked the “TI” styling initially all that much either but much like good whiskey it turned out to be an acquired taste.
For the simple fact the “1 series” doesn’t look like a Jap car gives it an exquisiteness that is hard for me to deny. Of course I am speaking of the hard top because the soft top looks like hell.
I think back about how the “2002” was criticized by people too.
Another example: What about the Porsche 550 spyder? If it wasn’t for James Dean no one would have warmed up to that car either. __________________ 318ti, sport, hellrot, 05/95 Munich, Germany | | | | |
