Replying to: andys120 (Jul 14, 2008 4:31 am) The headlights are the weak spot in the design appearance, but otherwise I think it looks exotic, and certainly the performance is stellar. When I had one for a short while, it turned more heads than you can imagine... and got tons of positive reactions. TM

Replying to: hpowders (Jun 25, 2008 4:32 am) Here! I got mine last week and I love it. 118d 3-door, jet black, with sports seats, orange cloth/leather interior, premium hi-fi, USB-Audio interface, xenon headlights, 17" V-spoke wheels, heated seats and some more goodies. interior pic: http://www.spymac.com/details/?2373444 http://www.spymac.com/details/?2373445 The car in BMW Welt: http://www.spymac.com/details/?2373438 http://www.spymac.com/details/?2373440 http://www.spymac.com/details/?2373442 About 50% of the people picking up their cars in BMW Welt were Americans. It gets great fuel economy btw. On B-roads it typically gets 50 mpg with normal driving (just keeping the rpms between 1500 and 2000). Autobahn driving at about 200 kph results in 33 mpg.

Thanks  When I test drove a 120d while trying to find out if I'd like a bit more power than the 118, it was a coupe. My girlfriend said it looked like an old peoples' car, she loves the hatchback though.  The coupe wouldn't be very useful, because I have to travel with lots of tools and parts boxes. Any gas engine would be downright impossible economically.

Replying to: mr42hh (Jul 17, 2008 2:40 am) Last winter my wife and I drove along two weeks a diesel 118d on a 1,500-mile tour from the Pyrenees to the Alps and back. The car behaved fantastically, even being as she was full loaded (back seats folded) with heavy luggage. On snow, she was even more efficient than some SUV riding ahead of us —or was it that the other driver was unable to manage the SUV? And the consume was really frugal  . Enjoy the black little greyhound! Regards, Jose |
