Yet again, too many pointless engine options and I've lost any interest I might have had...

The XF comes with a very nice V6 Diesel, a V8 Otto sufficiantly bigger to make it worthwhile and the same with a superpuffer on top. Any more would be annoying...

I'm not a great "Bungle" BM fan and the whole 1 series range is their lowest point, no sorry X6, oops sorry Z4, 6 series, oh christ I forgot the 7 series and now the X3

However IMO the 1 series coupe isn't too bad, but the problem is with the roof height as it is shared with the hatchback and hence the noddy car opinions.

I agree.

Make it 4 inches lower, and make the front lights look more like the 3 series coupe and it would look perfect.

It does look similar to 3er's of old i.e. E30 and before, but I would make the above design changes.

Absolute dross, one of the most hideous cars ever shat onto the market. And I'm sure it's sold by the bucketload.

Not many 1er coupes on the road, even less 135's - which appeals to me and a reason why I loved the S.
