Following on from the M135i love-in (it IS gratifying there is one C-segment that's not like Temasepam) this might be of interest to some:

Pics

Unlike the 4er, it's not so big that it has to have LZ101 written on its canvas. Oh, the humanity...

 

Looks a lot more rounded than the 1er coupe which always looked ridiculous to me

I quite like it. Whether it would be big enough to lug bugger lugs about ....

No more v8 NAs in cars like this though

 

Front wheels look too small - probably due to safety regs causing oversized nose

Is this not the 1 coupe though with a new name?

 

It's the 1 series coupe, just with 5' tall men standing by it to make it look a little bit bigger

 

They are calling the coupes +1 now

Eg M3 becomes M4

Etc

 

Yup - to make room for the FWD 1er etc, and for it still to make sense.

 

Urgh. fwd?

 

Well they've got to milk the mini formula a bit more. How many rwd BMWs did you see out and about in the snow over the last few winters?

 

Used mine all winter

But ikwym it was a tail happy mofo, better than the S due to its lard ass.

 

Used mine all winter too.

Only saw the TC light come on if I tried to make it come on.

Winter tyres rock. Would rather have been in the BMW on winters than in an FWD on normal tyres.
