They reckon winters first, then 4wd. I'm certainly a convert having driven the S up ridiculously steep hills covered in snow

Anyway... Saw an original 1er coupe today. It made me think that on the 3rd attempt this line doesn't look puke inducingly awful, at best.

That in turn made me think BMW don't make good looking cars really. And certainly don't innovate in that department. Look at the golf ffs, just a mk1 plus lard. And the 911. I could go on but thinking of German cars has bored me now.

I fancy a gt2/3 but feck all else

 

Looks nice, but I wanted the practicality of the hatchback, it's pretty easy to chuck my bike into the back of mine, it'd be less easy with the 2er.

Will be a great car if it's anything like mine though. I'm absolutely loving it.

 

C'mahn; most buyers think they're FWD anyway, according to their survey!

RWD is awkward to package in a C-segment pox box and the result looks funny and is space-inefficient and wastes power and emissions in the little diseasel struggle buggies most buy.

 

I spose there's no point in diesel rwd

It's like a fat knacker with a big rack, self defeating

 

I liked the fact that my 120d was RWD . But I'm not your average buyer...

 

Never been in the BMW 335d then, obviously.

 

I'm sure it's all very nice & everything but whilst there's a 335i, why on earth would you want to?

 

No. I don't like performance diesels. A 2k power band for one. I see it like this, if I'm doing mega miles a diesel is the car which suits, chuckaway one though, not a 35k one. We did 90k in a vectra which did 50mpg, it cost about £7k over that time which was fine but imagine running a shiny BM into the ground like that?

If you don't do big miles get a proper car

I share 8k pa over the M3 and S2. Perfect for me.

 

hoorah another car we didnt realise we wanted.

 

I'd rather have a Kia.
