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. |

Replying to: nyccarguy (Aug 06, 2008 6:35 pm) OT: The vehicle that really surprised me was the X6 35i- it was very quick and handled much better than such a big and heavy truck has a right to. Pointless but fun.

Replying to: roadburner (Aug 07, 2008 7:35 am) ?? But then you could get a 128i coupe for only $30k. If you find a CPO Cayman for $30k, please let me know. I think I may be able to talk the wife into that one.

I test drove a 128i with the Steptronic a few months ago. Nice package, but, like roadburner, I'd get the stick shift as well. If I kept the options to a minimum, I think a new one would retail for $30-32K. When the time comes for me - in a few years - to get a new ride, perhaps a CPO might fit the bill at, hopefully, $20-23K. |
