Saw a 1-series for the first time today. Once lowered and on some nice wheels it'll look acceptable.

stuffing the biturbo 3.0 in that car is an awesome move on bmw's part.

Default Drove a 135i M-Sport on the weekend

Gotta say, it is an awesome car. Handling balance and steering feel is absolutely perfect, as is the manual trasmission. The size was just right and it fit me like a glove. Surprisingly practical (huge rear seat compared to my MKI TT, and I think it would fit more luggage too). And the engine...just incredible pull from the bottom to the top of the rev range. Blows away the similarly priced Nissan 350Z I drove a little while ago.

I'd love to own it if it didn't have the BMW badge.

Default I've seen two of them up in Markham

Both white. Not sure what engine on it but one was a convertible.

Just saw a white cabriolet tonight. It was a 128, I think that's the only engine available in it.

You can get the 135 (300HP) in cabriolet form too
