Not as expensive as you think (still more than I can afford though :'(), and 0-60 in 4.9!!!!!!!

Good for the money I think, especially considering it's rivals at that price

Not a fan of the "estate" style, the 1m looks nicer but that is good value for money and incredibly tunable

I'd love one these. Funny you posted this, we were just talking about them in the office earlier. Saying how with the right mods, you're looking at 1M speeds and much less £££.

You can get 2009 335is for £20k.

this is probably going to be my next car, love it

Not the same engine though is it?

 

[Ollie RS]

no this is the new version, old one had problems with fuel pumps etc.

 

[Chrisgti6]

I think this is single turbo now too, old one was twin?

 

[Ollie RS]

yeah that's right, one bigger one now

 

[Iain 007]

I really like it, may take a test drive if I get the chance when I'm on leave.

IIRC it's not many hp shy of a 1M anyway, and 10k less

EDIT:

19hp shy

 

[Ollie RS]

when is the release date?

good hatchback with rear wheel drive fun factor

 

[Ollie RS]

it sounds great as well! can't believe it's only £3000 more than the new Astra VXR!!

Interior looks interesting, love the alcantara.

I was looking at 135i's the other day, I guess they share the same engine as the 335i's? But they aren't too bad price wise and is a possibility after the clio when they're a year older or so.

Do they have many problems other than the mentioned fuel pumps above? I guess it's just the usual with BMWs; expensive to run and service, much like the clios haha

am i the only one getting bored of seeing all these german cars audi / bmw / merc.....:coffee:

the odd one is ok as i quite like the 1 series m car but not much else! and as for audi cant tell an a4 from an a8 these days :swear: so blooming boring

if you look at all the models from vw audi seat skoda bmw merc all the "different" vehicle spun off the same platform and some are charged at premium prices for what is a bread-and-butter engineering - some people are quite blinkered :w00t:

 

[liam92]

Where do I sign? Stunning, love the flares and sharp lines in the front end

 

[litchy]

If anyones not owned any 'sporty' BMW, for me, theres not another car better for the money.

 

[Arran]

Am I the only one who thinks it's butt ugly?

 

[930Tech]

Am I the only one who thinks it's butt ugly?

It's not that ugly but it's too samey as the rest of the range.

Am i confused, but did the last model not have flared/fat arches? or is it a different model?

I don't think its a patch on the 1M coupe to be honest. It just looks like any other 1series, which round here are ten a penny. Don't get me wrong they're great cars I'm sure, and I would have one as a daily. But if your wanting a proper performance car I'd go for a used 1M. I'd annoy me that most of these will be bought by people simply wanting "the best" 1 series, not because they like the cars, just because they've got too much money.
