Replying to: pod (Jan 11, 2009 7:58 pm) Will the trunk hold a set of clubs and a push cart?   Doubtful, in fact I don't think you could do that w a 3er. IIRC the rear seat folds down which might help.

Replying to: pod (Jan 11, 2009 7:58 pm) I put two sets of clubs in a 128 convertible -- "stand-bags", not the real big tour-sized bags. It would have taken a duffle bag in addition to that. The disadvantage is that the reason you have a decent trunk is the absence of a spare and the presence of the the run flat tires. There are thousands of posts on other boards expressing dissatisfaction with RFTs. Those tires are the sole reason I have not taken a more serious look at the BMW 1-series.

Replying to: 1lotlizard (Jan 24, 2009 9:48 pm) There is a non run-flat option available for the 1-series. It is available from Tire Rack for about $700. Replies to this message: 1lotlizard (Jan 25, 2009 8:38 pm) fedlawman (Jan 25, 2009 10:20 pm)

Replying to: fedlawman (Jan 25, 2009 7:38 am) Do you have further info on the non run flat option? I am familiar with tire rack. Doesn't any non run flat option necessitate a spare and that compromises the trunk? Thanks. Replies to this message: fedlawman (Jan 25, 2009 10:20 pm)

Replying to: 1lotlizard (Jan 25, 2009 8:38 pm) Yup, you can put a compact spare in the trunk, or do what Porsche and Lotus (among others) do - throw in small compressor and a can of fix-a-flat.   I certainly wouldn't call RFT's a deal breaker. Buy some proper tires and sell your unwanted RFT's on ebay

Replying to: pod (Jan 11, 2009 7:58 pm) Will the trunk hold a set of clubs and a push cart?   Yes. No problem. Trunk space is quite decent and actually about the same as the 3 coupe.

a month, whether we need it or not.   Pretty dead board for what's supposed to be the "entry-level" bimmer. Replies to this message: fedlawman (Mar 12, 2009 6:50 am)

Replying to: cdnpinhead (Mar 12, 2009 5:09 am) You're right - throwing out the same old superlatives does get boring after a while. Maybe we need some new ones?   Here, I'll get us started:   Dazzling and scintillating.   Discuss...

Make sure you get this option. You get full iPod/USB integration. It comes with a special cable to plug in your iPod and of course you get full integration. Americans get the cable included but Canadians don't get the cable. They could probably purchase it in the US for cheaper than what they charge.
