BMWBlog redesigns the 1 series- yay or nay

Muffnbluff · 10-21-2009, 09:18 PM

I hate the idea of 19" wheels on the 1 series, looks too big, heavier, harsher ride, super thin sidewalls.

And the quad exhaust is totally unnecessary, just adds weight.

mine didn't look too big (IMO), they aren't any heavier than stockers (mine were lighter), the ride was no harsher than stock, and the sidewalls really weren't that thin. I had 35s.

I love it.

Gotta watch out though. Make the 1er better looking and you won't give the 3er guys anything to make snide remarks about.

I don't know, the 335 is faster and better looking than every car, not just the 135, remember?

Side-on = Audi A4 with the S pack.

I like it alot, it looks way sportier, and sleek, especially with the removal of the dog about to have puppies gut, and swimming goggles headlights. Really diggin the quad exhaust as well. However im not sure about the taillights, both designs look good IMO.

It looks like they've changed the rear roof line to look more 3-ish which I think loses the character of the car. I would prefer to just widen the rear stance to be more aggressive like this.

BForbes · 10-22-2009, 07:50 AM

I actually love how it looks too. From what those "in the know" have said, the kidneys are going to get a similar treatment.

Sidh135i · 10-22-2009, 10:20 AM

not bad

Wait a second... what is that thing? 1er body with a 3 series face? Is that real?

Add1ct · 10-22-2009, 12:35 PM

Idk if you guy's made the connection, but the front of the 1 series strongly resembles the E46 M3. If they keep going with that, and make the next 1 more streamline it could be a very, very good looking car.... Just in time for the 1M

I will quote myself from the last page...

The 1er is first and formost a hatchback/shooting brake...not a wagon. This is how it will be first designed with the coupe and vert following in the next MY or 2, just like how the 3 sedan comes out before the 3 coupe, vert, and wagon.

merlinbk · 10-22-2009, 02:40 PM

Looks like an Audi.

Jaguar66 · 04-14-2010, 04:46 PM

This is how the 135i should have looked, too bad they can't adjust some of these styling cues for the new 1M1

1013mm · 04-14-2010, 05:22 PM

front is wayyy better to me although I still hate the headlights...
