Nice find! :w00t:

Templedogg · 11-08-2007, 04:58 PM

Awesome!!!

Must not have the sport package option. No shadowline.

Smokey · 11-08-2007, 07:05 PM

Great video. Thx for posting.

EmUc · 11-08-2007, 07:08 PM

This felt more like a commercial than a review. Come on, he doesn't find a single bad thing about the car?

larryn · 11-08-2007, 07:10 PM

Seems Charlie wants to keep getting invited back to these BMW press drives. I understand it's a good car, but damn... what a kiss ass. He sounded like he was working for BMW in EVERYTHING he said.

EU version. Notice no orange reflectors either. ZSP (sports package) is a North American package.

I really laughed when he stated how light the car was at 3370lbs compared to cars in the 4, 5 and 6000lbs range. Also good for fuel savings since there isn't much weight to haul around. This is guy is either paid by BMW or a total idiot when it comes to testing sport cars. Maybe he thought he was testing a SUV.

From being around from the old bimmer.org-> toadfly days, Charlie is a tool.

BTW, by me posting that, my account was probably just killed off too. Again, he's a tool.

blacknbean · 11-08-2007, 10:19 PM

at least he got the US weight right

bradford · 11-08-2007, 11:33 PM

Sweet christ - that guy doesn't have a clue in hell WTF he's talking about.

miloz · 11-09-2007, 08:53 AM

Nice find:drinking:

the2doors · 11-09-2007, 09:08 AM

I liked how when he was talking about the ipod integration, he messed up and said "what we've done here", then corrects himself and says "what BMW's done here". Cmon Charlie, we know who signs your checks. He makes Mikey look objective about Life cereal.

Cool video.

It isn't just BMW; his "review" of the G37 was just as inane. :bs:

Ever since Shaggy split from the mystery team, he'll take work wherever he can get it. *ZOINKS!!:biggrin:

dna550 · 11-10-2007, 12:56 PM

Charlies says the 135i is light compared to cars that weigh 6,000 pounds. Here is one that is over 6,000 pounds.

2007 Maybach 62: Curb Weight: 6340 lbs.

Not exactly in the same class as the 1 Coupe, but I do feel better now about 1 Coupe's weight.

Charlie says there are twelve colors for the 1 Coupe:

atr_hugo · 11-10-2007, 03:13 PM

Charlie's two shy of a full dozen then. ; -)
