Replying to: qbrozen (Aug 10, 2008 1:18 pm) If I didn't need the backseat, I'd still have chosen the 1er. It's simply a terrific package. But I do indeed use the back seat. It's definately useful and with just the right tweak between front and rear, it becomes very quite functional and passenger-friendly. It's so freakin' simple to move the front seats forward just a bit... still keeping the front passengers quite comfy, and yet at the same time providing the rear pasengers with adequate legroom for short to moderate trips. I've done it a number of times already, and everyone says they are quite comfortable, but, of course they wouldn't want to be in the back seat for hours. And, that really is the truth about the back seats. They are absolutely adequate with the right amount of tweak. They are a terrific bonus, to a great car that I would still have purchased anyway!! I love the stellar performance and fun factor of the 135i, and my occassional rear passengers get to enjoy it also!!... especially with the top down.  Perfect, for me. Now, OTOH, my Porsche 911's rear seats are truly pitiful, by comparison. TM |

I was talking about the 2 rear doors in back of the MINI Clubman, not the suicide door on the side.

Replying to: bodble2 (Aug 10, 2008 8:39 pm) What's with the weird 1 v. Clubby comparo? Then they only compared driving. Day to day living, the Clubman for anyone with a baby the Club would be the choice. Even runs to the store and such the Club offers space the 1 cannot match. I have placed 9 boxes in my little Cooper. A clubman could probably fit at least 3 or 4 more. The 1's a better driver's car but until BMW sells the right 1 series here (5 door hatch) the 1's not gonna be my first choice.

Replying to: circlew (Aug 11, 2008 8:29 am) The other day I parked by an e30 and just sighed looking at it. So perfectly proportioned. That car, with 2008 tech = heaven. |

Wow! Almost 4 weeks without a post. I drove a friends brand spankin' new 535i last night. It is a rocket. Gobs of power in a heavy, heavy car. I am starting to wonder about the twin turbo in a 1 series and am starting to consider the 128i instead - manual, of course. I need someone to talk me out of it.

Replying to: venture (Sep 04, 2008 6:01 pm) Sure, the 128i would be a nice car, but the 135i is absolutely spectacular! Don't even THINK of depriving yourself from owning one of the best engines the world has ever known! Does the TT engine need to win yet another award to convince you? C'mon, man, get a grip!  The 135i with a stick is heaven on earth. Few cars can compare to the overall feeling of that car. It's a magic carpet, if there ever was one. My Porsche sits in the garage, while I'm driving my 135i. Can you imagine why? Now, you asked for a little help here... so... am I getting through to ya'?... LOL.  TM
