Hardly the most usable boot in the world though. Might be bigger but it's too odd a shape to be of any real use...

Horses for course, gents! I've never had any issues with boot space in my 130i, including folding the seats down (they go flat) and carrying a 32" CRT and cabinet stand inside.

But that was a one off. It's never more than me and the g/f in the car, so the boot is fine for the two of us. For a family car however, you really need a 3-Series sized vehicle at least!

Oh, and I love the looks of my 130i (obviously). My neighbours new S3 looks boring and very hum drum IMO, and the chap down the roads R32 looks laughable. I mean, those rear lights

. Of course, this is all just IMO, and if everyone thought the same, we'd all be driving the same sort of boxes on wheels around.

Anyways, the 130i is going soon. To be replaced with with an even more 'unusual' looking car.....a Z3 based M-coupe. Maybe I just like 'ugly' cars
