    Nevvah!

    IMHO they're a pretty ordinary, pretty cramped hatchback with an extra-ordinary pricetag. I consider Golf GTis to be ridiculously priced but a decent performing car for the money. The 1 on the other hand will cost an arm and a leg for GTi performance. Having said that, the 120d is a quick and frugal little thing for people with no more than one friend and no weekly shopping.

    To me it's akin to paying a few grand for manure. Manure with a badge on it!

    1 series = pointless car

    And the "new" coupe and cabrio does nothing to change that

    I clicked the quote button so I cant see how I could have mis-quoted you??

    You said I was arse licking BMW's...........point out where I did that?

    The point is that I am not blindly defending BMW's. On the contrary, I have done the opposite.

    It has to be asked, why do you hate an inanimate object (BMW Car) so much?

    The 1-series coupe looks like a 3-series shrank in the wash, but not evenly!

    Because this is the internet and I can "unsay" things: I said something and took it back. Several minutes later you quoted me as saying it.

    I didn't mention you specifically. You took me up that way. You work on BMWs for a living, so it's not surprising.

    You've given us your philosophy on cars, which is fine, but I don't have to agree with it.

    It has to be asked: when I say something about BMW that can be construed as negative why do people jump down my throat? I have no problem with BMW cars.. as cars they're generally quite good, usually not class leaders, but very often blindly over-rated, and have a higher than average proportion of owners who are w@nkers from what I can see.

    Sorry if i offended you MR DIAGNOSTIC.That was just my two cents as it were.I'm sure that the vast majority of 5 series owners are not scumbags at all.I'll take back that comment if its upset you so much.After all they are just "inanimate" objects as another user has said.

    http://www.carzone.ie/usedcars/index.cfm?fuseaction=car&carID=856985

    52 grand for a 1 series diesel.Its not even the most powerful diesel and the particular car does'nt even have sat nav...Would you be well?????

    Dont worry, didnt upset me at all. i was just wondering if there was any actual reasoning behind it. Seems not.

    I am not so sure there are many 5 series being driven by inanimate objects though :)
