I bought a 116i as I wanted a manual. It is such a nice car to drive. But, I do wish for more power.Yes, it reminds me of the old 2002 ( yes, I am that old !, but I could not afford one then ) I think a 120d is good enough for most people for everyday use. Hope BMW Malaysia will bring them in. 3 series is kind of over grown ?

well u cant make it as good looking as the 3 series coupe. that would damage the backbone of the brand.

gosh, the rear lights sure look like they came from the old hyundai accent i think. but still, it's a beemer and that in enough for enthusiasts.

Might be popular with european countries. Here, the price is too steep considering other alternatives

I should be a hoot to drive. Small compact, relatively lightweight RWD.

I like how it resembles the E30, E36 in spirit and a miniturized E46 pysically.

Toss out all the electronic aids that plagues the E90 where driving fun is concerned, lighten it a bit ala E36 M3 LW, and this will make a good weekend track/fun car.

This will make the E30 a legend and a mod icon. People will look at it with gasps of what it was. BMW wants to grow with the generation that loved them and shows no effort in attracting the new generation.

" Flame-Surfacing" – Chris Bangle terminology for the convex/concave panels. Not "dented lookalike"

don't think there'll be lotsa space if the design of the hatch is anything to go by. afterall, the original 2002, e21 and e30 also had crap space at the rear. but they were fantastic drivers' cars. ppl those days bought the cars for the driving pleasure. that's why bmw were even confident enough to call their cars the ultimate driving machines. this highlighted their singlemindedness in producing cars that could not only look good but were also good to drive… at a reasonable price (at that timelah).

i love the concept of this car and i agree with some bmw enthusiasts that the current 3 is just too fat. the 1 coupe reminds of the 2002, e21 and e30 where the concept was for a small lightweight, fantastic driver's car at reasonable money. hope the 1 coupe can be at a reasonable price and better still if they have the 116i engine in it. diesel is fine but not here where the hopeless quality will kill the engine. heard that the cdi engines and bmw's diesels are suffering here. anyone can comment on the performance, lifespan and serviceability of bmw diesel engines? are they suffering due to the fuel quality?

i wonder……if it got bigger leg room at the back…….and the freakish price…..

Paul, typing error?

"The top of the line will be the first 1-Series to receive BMWâ€™s potent 3.0 liter twin turbodiesel gasoline engine with 306 horsepower and 400Nm of torque, and it will go from 0 to 100km/h in 5.3 seconds."

turbodiesel gasoline engine??

Sweet. The 135i should be a blast. ala E30/E36 325i/328i
