When BMW updates the 1-series, what changes would you love to see?

[MMMMM3]

Comfort access should be standard.

Cloth seats as an option.

DCT transmission as an option.

Dakar yellow as a non metallic colour option.

Those rear headrests from the European models

Are you sure it doesn't have wheel sensors, like the 335i?

TireRack lists Tire Pressure Monitor Sensors for this vehicle. That means it uses the active system, not the passive "count the wheel rotations" one...

No run flats, give me my donut back..
Center console window controls
Black headliner
Option to disable headlight washers
Lighter/Faster (tii)
Real rear armrest
Comfort Access standard - iPod/USB standard
Better integrated dashboard Nav (looks way too tacked on so I opted out of it) - make it a touchscreen please
LED headlights (fore and aft)
More cabin storage options (I miss my sunglass compartment from the E46)

I have'nt seen this one yet, and coming from 2 previously owned E46 330s I want this..

Sideways opening rear windows!

I have the idrive/nav system. I would like to see the programming for the display have a day/night view. Currently, every display page (other than the nav map) is difficult to see in bright daylight (due to a dull grey background and white letters). The screen becomes washed out. However, the map is easy to see in the daytime due the light background and dark lettering. However at night, the map is way too bright. You can turn the intensity down (through the idrive controller), but have to turn it back up in the daytime to see all the other (other than the map) display pages.

I came out of an Accura with nav (alpine made) and they did it right. At night the the map and other screens had a dark background with white letters. In the daytime it essentially reversed, white/light background with black letters. I never had a problem with readability. Just a suggestion.

3 more doors.

[Brandon26pdx]

ZHP package

[ManMachine]

Optional heated steering wheel. A very useful convenience option.

Better storage.

[128er]

standard xenons on 128

[ARES45]

diesel

[128er]

128i is lowest model, then 130i with ~260hp and standard xenons, better sport package rims, //M steering wheel and shifter, at about $30,500.

[InsaneSkippy]

Three words.

Le Mans Blue.



....in the US.

[1speedbike]

1) Reduce weight

2) Hardtop! But only if they can reduce the weight to begin with, or else this thing might as well be a 3-series

3) Sport Mode

4) More (xenons on 128, CA, auto dim mirrors, LSD) and less (headlight washers on 135, sunroof) things standard

5) The security system from the 750iL in Tomorrow Never Dies (electrical shocks to would-be thieves) :biggrin: Also bulletproof, and if they DO keep the sunroof, make it house stinger missiles a la the 750

[balaroue]

1. Auto dim mirrors should be standard. If not, they should at least be available w/o the package!!!

2. ipod usb adaptor should be included w/ the prem hi-fi, or 1/2 the price.

3. Int colors: Matching headliners for each; more colors to choose from; break up the sea of solids with some accent colors (ie. does the GB have to be GB everywhere?).

4. Rear seat... get rid of the center plastic.

5. Sunroof delete.

6. Seatbelt noise...

7. Paint the rear diffusers to match the car.

8. Offer the Hatchback.

[hbiscuit]

seatbelt hooks on the seats, and revised windshield wipers to prevent windshield breakage!!!

[amdmaxx]

- Less weight
- LSD
- Fog lamps
- Free iPod adapter
- New iDrive please, 80gb HD, 8.8 inch screen, easier to use, better NAV
- No run flat tires option
- LED lights
- Ambient lights for inside of cabin
- Tii version with little more power (350/350 sounds really nice)
- Ceramic brakes option (if they ever become reasonably priced)
- More aerodymanic/better looking (hate those pedestrian laws)
- Diesel 123d in USA.
- Maybe high revving Turbo inline 4 to replace 135 (so rumors go). As long as its much lighter, spools fast and gives 300hp, it should be a success.

What were they thinking with that second cup holder? Did they ever try to put a cup in there? My wife and I are always fighting over the one that does work.
More amp power or better subwoofers. I can barely hear the ones under the seat with the bass at the max.
I would also vote for a space saver with no run-flats.

[Dr_Jones]

123d or 135d

[Year1of1]

hard top vert
no seatbelt gong

LARGER HANGER HOOKS! Impossible to hang my suite jackets
