U.S. owners taking delivery of 1-series coupes starting today!

kplsoleil · 03-15-2008, 10:51 AM

This lucky guy got his 135i coupe this morning a week before the official March 22 launch date. Looks like we're going to have a new smaller brother driving around on the roads

I'm not a fan of the look of the 1er. But I love the dash layout. It's like an updated e46 dash.

remmib · 03-15-2008, 12:59 PM

Very nice 1 series.

Completely agree. Seeing this makes me realize how much they screwed up the interior design with the e90. Please BMW, bring back the driver centric cockpit - it looks like you are slowly moving back to it with this design.

Dash almost looks like a cross between the E46 and the current X3. Very Nice! Can't say the same for the exterior, but its not bad given the surface area they had to work with. All in all, I bet its a blast to drive.

+1

dbinc · 03-15-2008, 04:03 PM

I must say, not bad at all. Exterior wise it could have been designed a little better, but not bad overall.

Mystiqueskillz · 03-15-2008, 04:20 PM

It looks funky! I'm trying to love it, but so far I just can't!

aut0sh0cker · 03-15-2008, 05:55 PM

i have already seen two driving in my area in the last week or two...

test drive, maybe?

toolfan · 03-15-2008, 05:59 PM

we will see them in the chicago are coming thursday the 20th

MrHarris · 03-15-2008, 06:07 PM

Nice

ZuerstBMW · 03-15-2008, 06:42 PM

I cant wait to get one. Probably not till the summer though.

0asis · 03-15-2008, 08:58 PM

i wonder how this will affect Mini sales in Canada and US

The cars were only released from port for delivery yesterday, so those must have been BMW NA cars.

Maybe for the Rags to test, I think they're all out in Cali.

As for mini sales, I doubt there will be any impact. The 1'ers are 10k+ more expensive.

They're bringing so few into the country, it won't have much of an impact on anything. BMW is planning on selling more M3s than 135i coupes, so I wouldn't expect much of any canabilization, up or down.

nusevad · 03-15-2008, 10:46 PM

Nice, before we know it, they are going to be everywhere.

Feyd · 03-15-2008, 11:32 PM

saw an alpine white w/red interior getting unloaded today at bob smith bmw in Calabassas

ChaneRZ · 03-16-2008, 12:40 AM

i'm pretty sure there will be lots of 135is on the road.

Robert · 03-16-2008, 01:07 AM

Not till later this year or next year. BMWNA only have 10,000 allocated for 08

out4scrilla · 03-16-2008, 01:27 AM

i just cant bring my self to like it yet

sayemthree · 03-16-2008, 03:49 AM

It's definitely going to be the next big cult car for BMW owners.

It's a younger demography over there.

HA! more m3s?? who are they kidding. I still see the 3 m3s at sterling they've had for the past week and a half almost. No one has seem to have bit the bullet yet.

Not a fan of the interior actually. I like the more 'executive' feel of the e90, a lot like the 7 series.

Can't help but feel gipped on the braking set up though. Wish my 335i would've come with brembos (don't the 1's?) stock.
