joebloggsVR69 0 Posted October 3, 2004 Had a ride in one of these the other day :shock: I couldn't believe how quick it was! Apparently 0-60 in under 8 secs, it just kept pulling and pulling with 3 of us in the car. 163bhp and 250lbs of torque, it goes like the clappers. It handled superbly too. Apparently Schnitzer tune them to 190bhp I'm not too keen on it's looks though, but it's probably one of those cars that grows on you :wink: £20k is pretty steep, but I must admit the quality was top notch.

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 3, 2004 Nice one! Those are some very impressive power and torque figures and the 1 series is quite a small car, so can make full use of it! I don't even bother with most BMW diesels because they can show up a VR6 with a simple squeeze of the pedal :oops: Might have to invest in one as a second car next year :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M777CUSGTI 0 Posted October 3, 2004 the new BMW diesel engines are something else.... had a go in the 730d last week, it felt like it accelerated on par with a VR6! :lol: rapido, astounded me :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted October 3, 2004 Shame that the 120d is so spectacularly ugly, just like all the Bangle designed BMW's... I don't know if they will ever get their design team back on track after that fiasco. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M777CUSGTI 0 Posted October 3, 2004 Did Bangle design the new M5? if so not everything he has done is bad. Infact i think the styling on the new 7 series is bang on :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted October 3, 2004 The newer 3 series's are ok but i'm just not 'feeling' the 5 series too well. The 7's are OK I suppose, but they are just TOO damn big!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
