3. Shifter vibrates like hell beyond 5500 rpm.
4. A similarly equipped used Z costs almost the same as the 1er. (Atleast in my case)
5. Only two seats. I know the 135's rear seats are pretty much unusable. But atleast i can try and fit 4 ppl in there.
Other than those gripes, the 370 is a full on, raw sports car, that will be amazing on back roads and track days  . But, as a daily driver, not for me. |
I can agree with the above. I never missed the back seats when moving to my 350 and then 370. Just my wife and I, so we use her vehicle if we have passengers
It's really weird having a back seat in the 1er, but the improved daily drive (I commute 100mi every day) is worth the tradeoffs.
I'm personally very interested in seeing the new, smaller, lighter, and smaller-displacement FI engine that's supposedly coming in 2015. Perhaps it would be something to look at then, but at this time, the 135 is king
