Intersting that only a few would move to the 2 series. Anyone care to offer reasons?
Differences:
>more power (roughly 10% across the board)
>electric steering
>better auto transmission
> extra 2 inches of cabin space
>slightly more reliable engines
>slightly less weight?
>more tech
>more computer run
For me? I have to consider kids when I get my next car.
Can anyone provide insight on car seats and kids with the 1 series back seat. I can tell you when I was a lad I didn't mind climbing into the back of M3s at all. So my question really is, is strapping a baby on up into a car seat a real bitch? Or is it not so bad compared to modern 3 or 5 series?
My thinking is this: if it's just annoying enough, I can ensure that the kid is always riding in the wife's car instead of messing mine up
but I could make do if necessary.
I'm considering an M235i (and converting it to a livable M235i race), Z4 M paired with an i3 for commuting, or just maintaining my 135i for another few years and getting an i8.
