I’m afraid that when it comes to our shores, it’ll only be of “Auto-Trans” as the sole option. Then, people who have been driving Manual all the time like us will be disappointed…

[...] don’t offer a storyline of any form, but if you generally like the 1-Series especially the 135i, you’d want to watch it anyway. But the Have You Seen It series are definitely alot [...]

Once upon a time there is a company that makes such great legend cars like
ae86 and supraâ€¦but nowadays in the globalisation era they just lost their soul and make cars that can sell zillionsâ€¦..even proton starting to go towards their pathâ€¦.thank you bmw for not following the path and continue to make great exciting carsâ€¦.

if bmw is serious in lowering their current customer age profile, sell it cheaper just like how the 2002 was positioned and in this part of the world, offer it with a 1.8 or 2.0 for tax purposes. better still, have a 1.6 turbo as used in the mini and peugeots. this could be the car to really push numbers for bmw in malaysia… if they are serious about numbers for the 1 series.

sorry for being too philosphical,
well what i mean by beauty has its own parameter,
where design is something that is not simply id say arbitrary,

just for a design point of view,

todays design a so called ‘canggih’ stylish, new design, new, latest ,terkini, cabfoward, innovative interior, central meter cluster, – designed by young enegiatic pocketfull of sketch pen with latest hair style, not that im saying its wrong,

well i belive most of us would say, bmw a nice or beautiful car, why its that so,,,
-look at the propotion of the car, id say its a classical approach in forming the volume of the car not the overly inspired cab foward bloby or a jet fighter look alike front, look at the interior, the dial is ment to be read by the driver, not for public display in the center,

i might be wrong, but i belive beauty has its parameter,

Your opinion makes me curious. So, what is your definition of a soulful car?

Paul,

The sideways pics looks damn cool. I noticed 2 different drivers doing them. Fellow journalist?

A car that don’t need to try very hard to look good,front lights do look awkward at first but it’s ok,interior reminds of the e36 and e46,neat..overall the Bmw trademark is still there, good..a very nice car to drive,thats for sure

Woah, if this isn’t a dedicated in-depth review, I don’t know what is, great write up, Paul, you’ve stuffed me with info than I can digest now. One question though: did you take those pics? Cause they look damn good

I love everything on the car except for the frontlights. The frontlight is just SO disappointing.

Really a neat car. Am sure we’ll see it on our Malaysian roads soon.
