Cool
Wow!!!
Paul, you get to test drive 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.
I heard the 1 Series (hatcback) is one of the most well-balanced car (~50:50 weight) on the road, which should give it good handling. 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.
aksMs: no, someone else is driving and writing for me. anyway, the 1 series handles really well typical of a bmw and the ride is bearable.
Proton should do something EXACTLY like this. Why fight the world with mass market cars, when you can go niche and be the king of niche?
whos dat guy ?
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. 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.
Sadly its a lot heavier than putra and weirdly slightly heavier than 3 series
mummies going to drive this hotrod!
i fell in love with this car when i 1st saw it in autocar mag
It may weigh a lot more than the Putra but its surely more powerful. Power to weight ratio would matter here.
putra is stupid, this is awesome, like the old m3
i dun think dis car is awesome…mbe awesome in term of driving xperience n technology…bt nt it dsg…still one of the beemer failure…okla…jz compare audi tt with bmw z4 coupe…bmw is slightly better in term of tech n driving exp…bt…d dsg…audi tt far better than z4 coupe…so…i will choose a car wit a good dsg…still dissapointing wit the beemer…i do like beemer bt now starting to hate it…they still adv. in technology bt outdated in dsg…if they ggd in dsging car…theyre perfect…
not a nice car….. SERIOUSLY…..
BMW trying to win back the diehard fans of the old M3. 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.
