AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. runs from the room screaming. I just don't like it. In fact I would rather have a new Golf. I know this kind of talk might get me into bother on this forum but that car is ugly.

-my initial reaction when I saw the pictures in the BMWCC magazine was that it is an ugly slab-sided little spud. -surprisingly I actually think it looks better in these pictures than the others. -shades of the Alfa Romeo, in a way. -might grow on me yet....stranger things have happened.... cheers

I certainly would not mind owning 1, but its not something I would go about hunting - simply because I have not been impressed in terms of appearance with the new (04) BMW's the front of the 1 series, 3 series and 6 series (and Z4) are not as bad as the rest, in my opinion But i personally dont like cars that are flat are vertically "flat" at the back, must have the "saloon" appearance , such as the BMW compact editions ------------- BMW 318i 1998 - Silver |

Have you seen the new Golf?? It looks like they forgot to "style" the rear of it! At the end of the day, every single competitor to the 1 suffers from the same probs: The engine is round the wrong way and the wrong wheels drive! James ------------- Work Harder!

I agree the new golf is hardly an oil painting but it's considerably better looking than the 1 series. At least the golf is kind of non descript. It's the kind of car that you don't really notice. The new one series however is just horrible and definately leaves a lasting impression. ------------- Entering an age of Austerity and now driving a Focus Diesel. |

Saw one at the ETCC at Donington (120i). Not my favourite BMW but looks better in the flesh that in the pictures. Still don't like the curve along the sill.

I like the look of the one series ( only seen the pictures, not the actual car). I wouldnt go out of my way to buy one, but then again I wouldnt go out of my way to get a golf, focus, or anything of that size. The cars that most impressed me at the recent motorshow were the Kias, Daewoos, and Hyundais. Decent warranties, decent prices ( compared to the vauxhall/ford ranges), and when you can get a brand new, medium sized estate car, with elec windows, abs, air con etc, and all for £7000 on the road with a three year unlimited milage warranty, three years free servicing ( again unlimited mileage)....who cares about resale value. ------------- Best Wishes Nigel |
