For the amount of power the turbocharged 3.0L I6 makes--there is torque just everywhere--the fuel economy is incredible.]]>Sep 14th 2007 3:35PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/14/frankfurt-2007-bmw-1-series-in-depth/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/14/frankfurt-2007-bmw-1-series-in-depth/
I just can't get over the looks of this thing though. It looks like it was meant to be smaller, but they had to cram stuff inside so it has those weird bulges and contours. For the record, I do like the 3 Series design.]]>Sep 14th 2007 3:52PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/14/frankfurt-2007-bmw-1-series-in-depth/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/14/frankfurt-2007-bmw-1-series-in-depth/I am calling BS on the 50/50 weight distribution claim. Even the longer 335i with lighter plastic front fenders is has 51.4% up front.

The 135i will be even more nose-heavy.

*Shrug*, butt-heavy cars are closer to the ideal weight distribution anyways.

This thing looks way too nice to be a Corolla, and is way too expensive at that! I'd love one in a Deep Blue if I could afford it...]]>Sep 15th 2007 9:38AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/14/frankfurt-2007-bmw-1-series-in-depth/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/14/frankfurt-2007-bmw-1-series-in-depth/Sep 14th 2007 2:36PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/14/frankfurt-2007-bmw-1-series-in-depth/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/14/frankfurt-2007-bmw-1-series-in-depth/Sep 14th 2007 2:51PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/14/frankfurt-2007-bmw-1-series-in-depth/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/14/frankfurt-2007-bmw-1-series-in-depth/Sep 14th 2007 3:00PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/14/frankfurt-2007-bmw-1-series-in-depth/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/14/frankfurt-2007-bmw-1-series-in-depth/Sep 14th 2007 3:01PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/14/frankfurt-2007-bmw-1-series-in-depth/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/14/frankfurt-2007-bmw-1-series-in-depth/
If I were considering a 350Z brand new, I would probably want to check this out.]]>Sep 14th 2007 2:44PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/14/frankfurt-2007-bmw-1-series-in-depth/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/14/frankfurt-2007-bmw-1-series-in-depth/
This car is actually smaller than the fantastic BMW E30 series! The old 318is measured at 175 inches. The 1 is 4 inches wider. The 128i really could be considered a direct successor to the E30 318/325is!
