Scoobz, dont take it so personally, you only sell 'em not build 'em!

Well done for the pics though. I guess this will be set to rival the new Golf? Looks a similar size/layout.

[mrflibbles]

anyone know what engines are available?

will there be an M1?

[DustyC]

There already is an M1... and its a lot lot nicer

[bad boy]

its a lot better than i thought it would be from the spy shots, and best of all its rwd should easily beat the golf, focus, A3, etc

Looks like a small M Coupe to me.

git... i meant the pics... the full size pics i have here the car looks quite big in relation to the guy driving it...

Greg - we all thought that... with shades of Alfa 146?

Engines : 1.6i (116) 2.0i (120i) 1.8d (118d) and 2.0d (120d)

The 120d is going to be the performance car alledgedly and at 163BHP with 350lbs torque it should be fun. 0-62 in 7.9secs

It is aimed at Golf and A3 type cars. So it will be a similar size. No prices as yet but circa £16000.

3 door will follow.

2 series will be the convertible and coupe version im told... 4 cylinder M Power version also in pipeline

A small front engined RWD. Excellent. Hope this spurs on a few more manufactures too. Only other I can think of is the MX5.

[Bodo]

Another uninnovative car for indetermined people that want to be what BMW marketing tells them they are when they buy that car IMHO of course

[ettore]

I applaud the RWD (alfa please take note) but, by gum, doesn`t it ming?

The Autocar road test is very positive about the driving experience though, but does the typical (non-enthusiast) BMW buyer give two hoots?

[DustyC]

Given the chose between the 1 series and the A3 and Golf TDi's Id take the BMW.
It doesnt look like its been bangled and the RWD would be interesting in a car like this.
Must be the first RWD small"ish" hatch since the Toyota Starlet of the late 70's/Early 80's.

350ibs is that right? out of a 2.0litre diesel?

it looks like im the only one who likes the one then

[Rovertron]

I think you mean 350Nm of torque or about 260lb/ft?
