after watching the video… im not certain that the car shown is a bmw. it doesnt have any of the typical lines. Wheels arent as seen on any other bmw. No grill and strange light cluster front and back.

Well, I’ve actually driven one of these–not the convertible, but the 120i hatchback sold in the U.K.–and it’s an absolute kick to drive. It has the handling balance of a Miata, but with firmer, meatier steering, room for four, a real trunk, and 30+ average MPG. Weighs less than 3,000 lbs to boot. If it comes to the U.S. in non-convertible guise, it’ll be an instant hit with enthusiasts. I’d certainly consider buying one.

Northeasterner if everyone ignored him then he would soon get bored and go away, it’s the attention these people love. Besides IP addresses change constantly. I change mine by rebooting my router.

Can LLN determine ananymous’ IP and block it?! He has been getting on everyone’s nerves for weeks now.

So even the Mexicans are more sophisticated and they get the 1 series Oh Dear

You can see a clearer version with sound at Autoexpress.co.uk, that’s where 2addicts probably got this from.

Spiritual successor to the E30? How about 2002. The 1 series is almost identical in size to the 02.

I can’t wait for the coupe to come here, been wanting for almost 8 years. Until that time I’ll be having fun in my 74 02, which by the way can run circles around my Sunfire. I like GM, but I love BMW.

Sampson…

The only version I have seen is the one you refer to. They surely will build other variants. It got good reviews. Very back to basics BMW.

Jonas…

The 510 was a great car.

I think anonymous has single-handedly convinced everyone on LLN to not buy GM.

Nissan should remake the 510 and have a direct competitor with the 1 series…

this would be awesome…

Renton…

I looked up the 130i M-sport, and the only images I found are of the 4 door hatchback… They are making a coupe right?

#8 I think BMW has decided not call this the M1 as that is the name of a legend. The Euro model is the 130i M-Sport. That big six does a lot with the lightweight car. This mabe a great car, I’m glad they are bringing it to the States.

I can’t wait to see the hardtop high performance version… I’m guessing it’ll be called the M1

Not bad, handling-wise. But is hard to see the full beauty with all the camo.

#2, your roads! You are not the only one that uses the roads and I dare you to match your words -you empty shell.
If you have nothing to contribute, just shut your bloody trap and move on you imbecile.

At least the Pontiac will be the most reliable in this class. And with a 3.9 V6, it’ll run circles around this garbage. Americans need to wake up and realize that the real cars are at their local GM store, so you need to get your butts off your chair and go buy a GM

This car is waste of space here. Keep it off my roads or I’ll do donuts on the roof with my Silverado
