The Z4 M would be its cabrio brethren (no auto, plain manual; I like). Just came back from Germany. In terms of sheer volume, it could never beat VW's (incl Audi). Its the Gugenheim design thing again. The Germans feels its too detached. But does Munich care? Not when its getting lots of American greenbacks.

Power to weight ratio would matter here. It may weigh a lot more than the Putra but its surely more powerful. Power to weight ratio would matter here.

I have seen it close up a few days ago, parked right next to me at Sainsbury. The same colour with this one, with grey leather interior. The dash panel is pretty much similar to the 4 doors 1-series. Nice car for a lady executive. Yes, it is about the same size with the Putra. I have seen it close up a few days ago, parked right next to me at Sainsbury.

I don't know how far it's true. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing the 1-Series coupe here in Malaysia. And also what German tuning house AC Schnitzer can do with it.

Cool!! Twin turbo with 306hp? Sheesh! I wish I could get my hands on that wheel! From the size of it, it looks like it's just about the same size of our Proton Putra, yes? Some people said, the ride and handling in 1 series are rubbish. If that is true, hope BMW has improve on this one. Paul, you get to test drive it? Cool!! Twin turbo with 306hp? Sheesh!
