How many 1ers have you seen on the road?

SmoothStyle1 · 09-25-2008, 07:56 PM

As above.

pwillcutts · 09-25-2008, 08:14 PM

it took 3 months, but I finallly spotted another "1" just last week ! But not a gorgeous convertible like mine !:biggrin:

warmtoes · 09-25-2008, 08:23 PM

I've seen about 15 or so, so far.

FunkyTown128 · 09-25-2008, 09:20 PM

Only seen 3 in Fort Worth TX so far.....gonna be +1 VERY soon!!

Feyd · 09-25-2008, 09:25 PM

i've only seen 1 other 135i (other than mine of course)
I have seen several 128i convertibles though.... not too many coupes. This really surprises be because I live on the west side of LA and BMW's are like honda civics around here. Needless to say I'm happy that I'm driving an un-common car. That was kind of the point when I purchased.

desmat · 09-25-2008, 09:29 PM

1 135 parked
1 128 in my neigbourhood
1 twin in the street next to mine
Many at the dealer wich is basically in my backyard

deeb · 09-25-2008, 11:39 PM

I've only seen three other ones around vancouver.... hardly any!

bluemoon · 09-26-2008, 01:20 AM

I live in the Chicago area and have yet to see one except on a dealer's lot.

mistermojorizin · 09-26-2008, 01:22 AM

5 non dealer owned 1ers. i see people doing testdrives around dealerships

Heinzftw · 09-26-2008, 01:30 AM

I live in the Bay Area, and went to the last meet. Seen around 10 thus so far.

Novator · 09-26-2008, 01:48 AM

I saw a Jet Black 135i on base once back in August, the usual jet black 135i that is test driven around BMW of Honolulu and an Alpine White 128i parked three blocks from the dealership.

sunking420 · 09-26-2008, 06:59 AM

Haven't seen "1" yet. I need to get on I-95 more often. Maybe that would do it. Seems other drivers know what I'm driving though. They try to outpull me at stoplights to see what a 135i can do. Needless to say, they spend most of the time looking at what 300 lbs. of torque looks like from the rear. Not a kill story either. Just how quickly "1" can go to 45mph..........

pit1 · 09-26-2008, 08:00 AM

A few here and there, two 135s including Quick1 To Be a few times, and almost daily I pass the same woman in cashmere 128 Vert.

Schn3ll · 09-26-2008, 09:12 AM

Only one and it was a 128i vert... Makes me all the more excited to take delivery of my 135!!!

warmtoes · 09-26-2008, 09:37 AM

Am I the only one that's seen in the double digits? I'm only counting the ones on the street too. Overall I've seen probably 30+. There were at least 10 at the 1 driving event and I've seen another 8 or so at the dealer.

I've seen on the street:
128i vert cashmere silver
128i vert montego blue
128i vert AW
135i vert AW
135i vert SGM
135i AW
135i black
135i SGM
128i montego blue
135i TiAg
128i black
128i Sedona Red
and my own 135i vert TiAg

uofmtiger · 09-26-2008, 09:42 AM

I have never seen one in the Memphis area, although I know I saw a thread with a post by someone that lives in Cordova.

However, I did see a 128 vert in Dallas on a recent trip to see the Cowboys.

windmaker · 09-26-2008, 09:57 AM

not that much around my area. I only see two, my friend 135 and mine 128.

and 1 · 09-26-2008, 10:35 AM

i saw 2 yesterday and it actually bothered me...i usually don't see a single one.

SmoothStyle1 · 09-26-2008, 12:39 PM

With the vast majority of poll respondents claiming to have seen less than five 1ers on the road, does anyone know how the actual sales compare to projected/anticipated sales?

tnawab · 09-26-2008, 03:24 PM

seen just 4 plus mine. so 5 in total, and thats in the last 5 months. Not many out here!.

jrc · 09-26-2008, 03:39 PM

I have been looking carefully since they came out and have seen precisely 2 verts in the greater central Florida area (1 hour commute each day)

Thud · 09-26-2008, 04:35 PM

I hadn't seen one in months around Atlanta, and then this week I saw two in the same day. WTF!
