2017 1 Series Sedan Thread

[Gatriel]

Hey All:

Latest renderings are super sexy;







Here is latest info on it;

http://www.bmwblog.com/2013/09/27/fr...n-launch-2017/

and while I'd rather play in traffic than have a FWD car, an M1 with AWD wouldn't be that bad. I figure a ton of us e46 guys/holdouts will be jumping on this car (in the AWD configuration). In 2017 most of the e46s will be 15-20 years old, and we will all need a DD that is more reliable as the e46 becomes a garage kitten/toy much like the e30 has become.

I opened a savings account today called "M1" and will preorder one the first day available.

Not sure what options will be, but I assume it will be similarly spec'd to the S3 sedan, so put me down for;

- 2017 (maybe 2018) M1
- Red
- AWD
- 6 speed manual

Who else here is actually excited to get an e46 sized BMW sedan?

don't know how I feel about the tail lights and rims

[IEDEI]

oh man....this thing is gonna be the WORST!

it's like a Jetta....made by BMW.

nothing sexy about it, IMO. FWD for the massive LOSS.

Can't think of any reason that I'd ever want FWD haha

[Billup]

Hmmmm, I came to BMW to get away from my previous FWD car, and now BMW is going to the dark side. Looks like my next car might not be a BMW like I thought it would be.

There is no way on earth that THAT monstrosity will ever be called an "M1"...

You should change the name of your savings account to "BMiniW"...

Those headlights are fucked up. They need to be less squinty (that's a weird word to spell and look at huh?). The rest looks great actually.

haha. squinty is weird. the only thing worse than squinty would be 'squintylicious'

[IEDEI]

i nearly just choked when i saw THIS rendering online of the 1-series sedan.

A few more images/redners...

[IEDEI]

Dackelone: unfortunately those renderings may end up being quite wrong in the end as they are based around the RWD platform and hence have RWD proportions. If the 1-series sedan is FWD, it will end up looking very different in side profile than those.

[Gatriel]

I can only hope they give us a 300 bwhp and AWD, and then I wouldn't bitch as much as I would otherwise.

If this is strictly a FWD optioned car, then I'll rename the savings account to "S3."

I seriously don't understand it though - what is so difficult for BMW to make *EITHER* a 1er RWD sedan or a 2er Gran Coupe?

Come on BMW --- small, RWD (or AWD) and lots of power. Shouldn't be that difficult.

The F30 is as large as an e39 was. Just becoming a monstrosity.
