i know this is an audi site, and im all about audi.

but has anybody else seen the commercials for the bmw 1 series? they look kinda good.

like 300hp and smaller and lighter than a 3 series. hmmmmm.....

 

smart car company... they fired a whole slew of people and now they are producing cheaper cars, audi and mercedes are doing the same thing, since these japanese companies want to make more expensive cars, these companies are going to fight back by entering at a lower price range... imo the 1-series is going to boost bmw sales

 

i think it will increase sales also. it looks like a very fun car to drive and it has the potential to be very fast little car. i think it was a smart move for bmw

 

I'd love to drive a 135i, but I'm not so sure I could find a willing dealership.

 

I actually am really happy the 1 series is coming over here finally. I've been thinking all the cars are just getting bigger and bigger and bigger, (have you ever put a b5 next to a b7) and I'm glad BMW is beringing back the E30 formula : small light car + big engine= $$$$$$ for the company and for the owners

 

yeah the 1 series would be great...if it didn't look like a 3 series with down syndrome.

the 3 series is already an ugly car, but then they put it into a trash compacter to somehow try and make it better looking. It's not as light as you think either, and by that I mean it's still over 3100 lbs.

 

to go along with the 1series id like to see audi bring the s3 to america..

 

the 1 series isnt that much lighter or cheaper then the 3 series.

 

^^^I was about to mention that its only about 200lbs lighter than a 328. It's the smaller wheel base and upgraded suspension that makes it a track worthy car. It's still heavy though. To be honest it looks like a chick car, so small and cutelike, gimme a 335i anyday.

 

mmmmm I guess I should have done my research, I just assumed they would make it in that spirit. If it's only 200lbs difference, then I'll take my 328 coupe please.
