Hmmm, the idea of 120d with 163hp is very tempting :eeps:

I'm offended that you are offended, so I am reporting your post as well :angel:

Alex, you may :slap: me accordingly :amish:

[Bobby 325i]

Those 1er's look great. Thanks for sharing the pics with us americans since we ain't getting them here.

Also, are some of them painted Steel Gray and Topaz Blue? I thought those colors were discontinued :confused:

Yep - more than either of our 320d BMWs! And I wholeheartedly agree. I feel a second car coming ...

According to the brochure that I got last saturday when I visited the closed room preview of the 1-series you can get these metallic paints:

- Saphirschwarz
- Sparkling graphite
- Havanna
- Sydneyblue
- Sonora
- Quartzblau
- Titansilber

Non metallic paint colors are:
- Schwarz
- Japanrot
- Nautikblau
- Alpinweiss

This is what the metallic paints look like. (I haven't got a flatbed scanner so I had to make a picture of the page)

Slap them, not me! I was trying to be nice! :yikes:

It is always Phil's fault anyway!

Why do they all have license plates?

[Alex Baumann]

Why do they all have license plates?

They are the first production cars that are being sent to the dealers for presentation. A week ago, some customers received an email inviting them for a test drive, which is to be held sometime this month.

When are you going to test-drive one and give us your report? :D

[dino007]

OMW, the 1er looks amazing. Every pic I see looks better and better.
As soon as it arrives in South Africa, I'm gonna be da 1st person to test drive it. Apparently it's being released here the same time as the UK.

I'm not sure which colour I prefer, the blue is very nice, but my Mom's 525i (E60) is blue, my Dad's 528i (E39) is blue, and my current car (Clio) is, you guessed it, Blue! All 3 cars are metallic blue.
The car at the top, in the middle, is that silver grey? It's quite nice. What ever happened to that Silvery Blue colour shown in this (http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53567) thread?

Anyways, I like all the colours, black especially, just I find that black gets those micro fine scratches so easily from cleaning and every day use. Maybe silver grey is the way to go!

We wants it, we wants .... the preciousssssssssssss 1er :bawling:

Thanks for the pics, keep em comin ;)

[WILLIA///M]

Still holding out hope that the 2 door coupe might look pretty good.

[Sean]

I'm not much into 5 doors, but I defiantly would take a coupe.

[Alex Baumann]

When are you going to test-drive one and give us your report? :D

Very soon :bigpimp:

[Raffi]

Very soon :bigpimp:
Looking forward to the reviews, Alex. :thumbup:

[TGD]

I edited the photo a bit. This should be closer to the real colors.

[dino007]

Ooohhh, mine will have to be Quartz Blue. Sweet colour! :thumbup:

[JetBlack330i]

Alex, you're gonna cause someone that works for *M* (http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showpost.php?p=781133&postcount=7) lose his job posting those photos... :lmao:

Don't know why I never realized it before, but that is a lowered X3. Spittin' image.

[FrenchBoy]

A few other nice pics from a Swedish site. It is certain that BMW has a winner here and that the "1" is going to be a smash hit in Europe. This car seems to be everything it's advertised to be.

Cannot wait for the Coupe to come our way....

Quartz Blue with grey leather and a glass sunroof. Beautiful!

Thanks for the link.

I still need to see it in the flesh to know if I really like it.

you know i didn't really look that closely at the headlights until you mentioned that.... and then i looked at it from this angle.
http://www.autopower.se/reportage/1serien/dealershow/4.jpg

from most angles it's ok, but from almost head-on, it's very deer-in-the-headlights looking ... (pardon the pun)

[Mr. E]

That Sydney Blue looks great in pictures! I'd love to see a coupe in that color. :thumbup:

Oh how I wish we could get those Diesel powerplants here in the States.

Compared to other newer BMW headlights (minus the X3 of course), these are tame and pleasant.

Now that's sexy. Forget that dumpy little station wagon. :thumbup:

[FrenchBoy]

Well, the new Audi A3 sportback is apparently headed for the States. If seems to in the same category as the new 1 5-door and looks pretty nice to. If it does well, it may make BMW NA rethink its position... or not?
