Im off to buy my daughter one of these 120 convertible things tomorrow, i'l post some pictures.

I think its an ugly looking thing but she likes it over a Fiat 500 and at least its auto.
 
The 2.0i isnt the best engine, no, but it does develop 170bhp and doesnt give the authentic canal boat experience the 2.0d does in a convertible BMW. The 125i is probably the best all round choice, mind.
 
Well why didn't they call it a 130i then? At least they appear to have 6 speed automatics, so shouldn't be too inefficient.

I actually quite like them, in the right colour and light. Obviously the M version would be better, can't you get her one of those mark?

It is the lower power variant of the N53B30. The N53B30 was usually found in two forms - x25i and x30i (in higher tune). The 1 Series Cab, however, only received the lower power variant and is thus a 125i.

Obviously the M version would be better, can't you get her one of those mark?

There is no M version of the 1 Series Cab - the top of the 1 Series cabriolet range is the 135i M Sport.
 
Its insurance more than anything, this is 2.5k to insure a 130 i dread to think what it would have been.

This ones got leather business cd a few other bits i cant remember now, rubbish alloys but she likes them and its her birthday so thats that :)

That's fair enough mark, it'll be bloody brilliant compared the the 500 I think.
 
Fox this thing has deffo got M in the title and an M on the steering wheel, what is it then? Its professional not business cd, whats that?

It's a 120i M Sport.

He's talking about the real 'M Power' version.

BMW decided to market the **** out of the M brand back in 2004 by renaming the 'Sport' trim level on most cars to 'M Sport', hence the confusion.
 
Iv got the print out now, its a 120i M Sport cab auto. Chrome line, professional cd, heated seats and aluminium trim, thats the options.

You sah, are very generous!

Personally I'd take the 500 Abarth over them all - learning to drive in a 500 atm, and gotta say it's pretty sweet.

That said one can never change a womans mind :mad:
 
Its the changing gear bit, i dont think she was cut for out manual, obviously got that from me :)
 
Its like a silver grey colour with 10 spoke 17 inch alloys which aint the best but shes over the moon , so its all good :)
