Default bmw 1 series coupe

http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2007/07...n-youtube-.html

not sure this has been posted, but apparently its due out late 08, pricing at $80k, 0-100 in 5.3s, uses the 335i engine.

looks like an interesting package

Now that is what the 3 series should have developed into, not the bland lump of family sedan metal it has become.

I like it.

I like the concept of it, don't like the front design of the E90 3 series though. sub $80k would be competitive against the likes of the TT and 350Z.

i doubt it will be sub $80k, and i dont think it is competing with the 350z, more like the tt, s3, not sure what benz has atm.

as far as street cred goes, my brother was saying how its an entry level, the 118 is the entry level, the 135i isnt. but i dont care, its looks promising

I'm with Frisky. What the 3 series was supposed to be.

As for 'respect', pfffft, I'm a grown up.
