I think that if BMW would just put an all-wheel drive trans into the 1 series I think that a lot of people living in places where the winters get snow and I think that a lot of people that drive other cars besides they're bimmers that aren't all-wheel drive or buy other cars that are. If you think about it an all-wheel drive 1 series would be awesome and I think they're sells have soared since they were introduced. Correct me if I'm wrong but don't a lot of you drive front wheel drive and all wheel drive cars when winters come, since i'm at school down in southern illinois I don't have to worry about driving my car but when I go home for winter break I always drive my sister's Prius because I put my car up for storage. __________________ Greg M42 Club member 186 WTB: HELLROT RED CLUB SPORT 95 ti sold but staying in the family. | | | 08-22-2009, 04:07 PM | #7 | Z3 Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Usa Posts: 660 | Given the fact that I have 1... I would say that a 1xi would be a very very slow seller. The car is really small inside and not super practical. I call it a roadster with a top. That how small it is. But it's a damn nice little car. ________ Ford Torino history Last edited by Bozola; 01-31-2011 at 04:27 PM. | | | 05-18-2010, 05:56 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2010 Location: Southwest England Posts: 379 | looking at that link, the brown one is possibly one of the ugliest cars I have ever seen who buys a brown car anyway?

Edit - Wow, I just replied to a thread resurrection. I feel dirty. __________________ ~Dave~ 98 328ti Morea Grun slicktop 11 128i space gray slicktop 13 JGC WK2 Deep Cherry Search | RealOEM | | | 05-26-2010, 03:31 PM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2010 Location: Southwest England Posts: 379 | ah come on, don't be a snob about old threads, us n00bs like to catch up on the board discussions and you'd be the first to complain if we started posting new threads about the same old topics! besides that brown atrocity is so horrible, I couldn't NOT post. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
