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.

Replying to: mr42hh (Jul 16, 2008 2:57 am)  I really dig the practicallity of the hatchback. I've actually started to see more 1ers popping up on the roads around NYC. I passed a White 135i Coupe on the way to work, a Red 128i 'Vert, and a Montego Blue 1er on the other side of the road. |

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 |

I have yet to see a 1 series BMW on the road. I live in RI and travel on interstate 95 often. None in the malls, none on 95, none anywhere. Has the series been successful in meeting its projections? I think it is a very appealing package but I am single and have had a few BMWs in the past and liked them (although they were expensive to maintain--now not a consideration for the first years). I tend to keep my cars for at least 8 years. I would like to hear from some knowledgeable person that sales are going along as planned if that is the case.

I had a chance to drive a 135 convertible a few days ago. What a fantastic little car. Goes like a shot, comfortable, excellent handling. Best way to describe it is like a slightly less edgy and more comfortable e46 m3. *really* want one now.

Replying to: blueguydotcom (Jul 29, 2008 5:30 am) But it's worth noting that 3-series sales at  60,000 YTD are down 13% from 2007 and BMW's overall passenger CAR sales are down 8%. YTD. (And that doesn't factor in the nearly 20% drop in SAV (X3/X5) sales). I wouldn't assume that your dealer is feeling like (s)he's holding all the cards in negotiations just because the 1 is new and "hot" Your dealer still has to move metal to pay the rent/utilities. |
