Mook Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes. And this is what the M1 will be based on, according to the November edition of CAR magazine.

Thorburn Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 I like the 1-series, but this seems pointless, why not get a 3-series???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayerbloke Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 I`m going to spend the next couple of minutes looking at that and then come back to finish this post with my opinions. *time passes* OK, I`m back. Right, looking beyond the horrid black tape they`re using to disguise it... ... it still looks awful. That rear window is more gruesome than the one you`d find on the Puma. The rear light cluster looks almost like an afterthought. It`s just lost on that rear panel. It still has the tall-look doors on the side, which I can't stand. It looks like the bootlid is about 2 inches long, which will mean it`s like the one on the previous shape Astra hatchback [never it`s strongest point, looks-wise]. No. No No No No, that`s ghastly. But there's something more important to consider; Why the hell would anyone buy one? If you want a small and cheap [ahem] BMW, buy the normal 1-series. If you want a slightly bigger BMW car, buy a 3 series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Thorburn - you've hit the nail on the head. Apart from the fact the the new model 3 series looks like a Mitsubishi Carisma from the back... image removed as it was an anti-leaching image that was not for general viewing Please be carefull and check your posts before proceeding. Think of the shock if someone had seen such a distastefull image at work. From the comments below, you can see that people were shocked and seriously worried about this - I had about 10 PM's in 1 minute ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser647 Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Bit of a warning please for next time, Mr Mook......... However, the 1 series saloon - remember the Renault Megane Classic??? No, I think Renault would rather forget it too - but it had a huge boot, and did not sell. Renault obviously sold the design to Bangle/BMW. Why??? VW used to put a boot on the Polo and Golf - called Derby and Jetta - not the best of sellers and pretty ugly. I don't think BMW will put it into production......they are not that stupid. Just prepping for April 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 I posted this in the other One Series thread which is now locked. I have also PM'd some of you because I now feel more than bad about this. I had no idea that other web sites could substitute other photos instead of the one that was linked to. To everyone who read this thread before it was removed, I am truly, truly sorry if I caused offence. This was totally and completely unintentional. I linked to a pic on an external web site which came up when I did a search for a car I was comparing the new 3 series to. Apparently it was swapped for some users looking at the pic to something totally inappropriate for a forum like TsN. I've learned my lesson on this - don't link to external pics! Sorry once again.

mooret Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Surprised nobody has commented that they have changed the wrong end of the car? Its the front thats a mess with those big sad looking headlights. I actually think the rear of the hatch is not that bad....................not good, but not that bad. Its the front that kills it for me. I missed the pic too........darn!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
