Zanter 3rd Gear May 11, 2008 Share May 11, 2008 Anyone gonna test drive it later? 150k for a 6 pot BMW 3 liter in a light chassis sounds like a lot of fun! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comnao 1st Gear May 11, 2008 Share May 11, 2008 depending on how roomy is the rear seats ... i might settle for the 2.5L 3 dr cabrio not free to go dwn today ... i will look at it most prob nxt month i need something fun to replace my LGT ... but 3L w snail is a bit out of budget Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shox87 4th Gear May 11, 2008 Share May 11, 2008 wow. the 1 series has been officially launched already? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffer_fish Clutched May 11, 2008 Share May 11, 2008 i will buy but just bought the 3 series cabrio. the new 135i can really chew up a stock evo x dont flame me . please go to motor trend.com to see , they use a 135i vs a stock evo x. it is a mini m3 , not bad was invited for the test drive very fast, good for people who want a very fast ride but dont want evo or wrx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula Turbocharged May 11, 2008 Share May 11, 2008 Think its available in, I might be wrong though, i) 118, a 2.0 litre 143 bhp 5 dr HB, = $118800 ii) 130, a 3.0 litre 265 bhp 3 dr HB, = $149800 iii) 125, a 3.0 litre 218 bhp 3 dr Coupe, = $151800 iv) 120, a 2.0 litre 170 bhp Cab. = $159800 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rm2s 5th Gear May 11, 2008 Share May 11, 2008 Went to Reflection to see the 1-series. Didn't test drive though. I would skip the hatch, it's out of proportion imo. what a pity because the 3.0l in-line 6 in the 3-door hatch is a killer engine. The coupe and cab looks good. The console is really really basic, none of the model has iDrive, which is a real surprise for me. Even the 130i or the 125i coupe do not come with iDrive, considering the car touches 150K already.

Qr25vet Clutched May 11, 2008 Share May 11, 2008 you forgot 2 add in which version....the hatchback 5 door is a complete waste of time...coupe yes but its overpriced... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolad 5th Gear May 11, 2008 Share May 11, 2008 actually judging from the price and the fact that its a 5door... the 118i hatch will be a volume pusher... moreover in singapore... the badge itself will already sell... prepare for raining BMWs...

Why is the hatch out of proportion in your opinion? Any idea wat's the OMV for the 2.0L hatch? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanter 3rd Gear May 12, 2008 Author Share May 12, 2008 Even the 125i is in fact a detuned 3 liter engine. Nowadays 3 liters is not charged punitive roadtax but the fuel prices may be some cause of concern. The direct injection engine are supposedly relatively economical. 150k is the price of a cefiro 5-6 years ago? I am not crazy about iDrive gadgets, when you have more gadgets there r just more things to spoil. What I care for is a sweet engine mated to a competent chassis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damienic 5th Gear May 12, 2008 Share May 12, 2008 actually it may not sell. the 118 was alr available in singapore via PI for quite sometime alr. but sales had been anything but encouraging. I think most would rather spend another 20 grand more to get the 3 series sedan as hatch is not quite well-received in singapore. You will probably hear lots of pple complaining that 119K to buy a car with modest cabin space and small boot is bo hua and etc etc.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles 4th Gear May 12, 2008 Share May 12, 2008 The 1 series is luring buyers with the intention of getting A3 1.8T, A200T, Volvo C30 or even Golf GTi. but in the local, most buyers are pragmatic and would be looking at cabin space first when considering a car. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
