I couldn't agree more. There are going to be a million E90s out there soon. The hatch is different, which is why I want it. A little M Coupe in there somewhere...

Install the more powerful 3 litre, and you've got yourself a deal BMW NA.

Any chance there could be enough demand for them to consider it????

Sure does make that Golf behind it look like a thing of beauty, eh?

Me Likey!

It's the styling that the E90 should have been.

I'm interested to hear your personal review of the car.

By the way, this is what C&D says on the website:
"BMW should perhaps call the 130i the Goat, because the car follows the philosophy of the car that ignited the muscle-car craze four decades ago. An engine from big car (BMW’s 530i) stuffed into a little car (1-series) equals fun and sales. With 258 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque, the inline six-cylinder should push the 130i to 60 mph in about 6.2 seconds, with the brand-wide fun governor stepping in at 155 mph. When the accelerator isn’t buried in the carpet, the car should get over 30 mpg on the highway. With almost 40,000 1-series sold between the car’s September launch and the end of the year, BMW has decided to bring the 130i to North American shores. Pricing is yet to be determined—figure around $25,000 to start—but the cars should begin arriving in a year or so."

I'm just glad im getting an average of 47 mpg and only a week after ive got it - 750 MILES!!!
Tried a tankful of BP ultimate - seems to make a difference. Car is going into garage as its pulling to the left - and the bodykit wasnt painted right. So they said i can get the kidney grills fitted for free when they come out.

I'll give a personal review of the complete car after I've properly broken it in - have no quams soo far.

I saw a 1er last summer in Munich during my ED trip. The 1er looks real nice in person. Its definitely what I want to replace my 330Ci with some day. I'd love a 130i, but imagine a 1er with the current M3 motor, which will be homeless once the E90 M3 V-8 comes out.
