0 - 1-series (except montego blue @ dealership)

I didn't see any e90 M3s either, so maybe these models are just too new.

I have never seen a 1 series on the road. I am VERY surprised by this, especially since I live in south florida where every other car is a BMW. Are they not selling well?

jeremyc74 · 06-09-2008, 11:14 PM

I saw my first one on Sunday (other than mine of course). I was a black Vert.

60Driver · 06-09-2008, 11:31 PM

Only been back to the states for about a week. Haven't seen one 1. I like it that way. I hope mine is the first 1 I see (when it finally gets here).

Saw an AW one in Honolulu.....just made me want mine even more

HardTech · 06-10-2008, 08:05 AM

Where I work is right by the biggest dealership in Texas if not the US. And I have yet to see a 1

I didnt even see one on the lost when I took my car in for service last :/

I am beginning to think they are in hiding, and is any nice bmw around here. All I see are 525's, 328's and loaner 335i's

Thats sad for the Plano/Frisco/McKinney area.

LOL -- you got me, I stopped counting 3ers after the second one. PS I also saw my first Lexus IS-F (White) that day... Looked great from oncoming angle.

WHERE ARE THE ONES!?

I ran into my CA at the supermarket last week. He said that 1er interest had started picking up -- mostly on the 'verts.

Drove all over Los Angeles yesterday. Not a 1er to be seen. And for the record, a Hyundai Elantra does not drive like a 1er.

amy!

After doing ALOT of driving around the Chicago burbs for the last 3 months, having 6 BMW dealers around, I still haven't seen a "1" anywhere except the dealer lots. I haven't seen 1 single person looking at the 1 series at the dealers???

EODGUY · 06-12-2008, 01:27 AM

I haven't seen a 1er yet. And I don't expect I'll be seeing one here anytime soon, either!

blacknbean · 06-12-2008, 02:38 AM

i just saw my first 1er tonight. it was a 135 vert. it was actually hard to recognize b/c it was black and didnt really stand out.

Oregon · 06-12-2008, 05:04 AM

I live in a semi-rural, retirement community and have seen more Ferrari F-430's than BMW 135i's. The only 135i I have ever seen on the road is mine, and, that is from store-front window reflections. As it turns out, presently, these cars are kinda' rare. :iono:

I may change that tonight. I'm driving from Pittsburgh to northern VA tonite :biggrin:!! Keep an eye out for a white one!! :headbang:

Thud · 06-17-2008, 09:36 PM

Still haven't seen any 135i's on the right except mine, and the other one I saw parked at the gym.

But in the past week I've seen 3 different Lexus IS-F's. They must be selling a billion of those things.

Imola.ZHP · 06-17-2008, 10:02 PM

^ good for them...

raventattoo · 06-17-2008, 10:17 PM

I saw a black 135 conv last week. That is the first and only one and I live near downtown Houston and work in the Medical Center. LOTS and LOTS of Lexus IS, 328s, 335s, 5 series, 7 series, 6 series, G35s and 37s that I can't count....I see at least 2 or 3 (or more) M3s DAILY!

Love being one of the very few on the road...very fun!

Never seen a 1 on the road in Albuquerque.

gatorfast · 06-17-2008, 11:33 PM

I just got back from a trip to LA. Saw a black 128i, white 128i, and white 135i.
