I'm really leaning towards the 1 series now compared to the A3.

White or black, i do like black!

Not worth getting the 1.6 is it, so 1.8 Sport perhaps?

I'm only really a fan of white on expensive larger cars, it does look quite good on a select few cheaper and smaller cars but it needs some exquisite design to carry off its premium look properly.

Having said that, I dont dislike the 1 Series in white, but I wouldn't choose white for it myself.

White

But if you do go for 1 series, be sure you get an M Sport one..

I was ready to disagree with a 1 series being boring for a 20 year old, but then realised i do actually think the 1 series is a damn boring looking car. The 3 series, despite being more grown up, is far less boring to look at it.

PS I've had a bmw 330i sport since being 20, and have never been told that my car is boring by anyone except on a forum, most people I know are amazed by it (remarkably). I'm probably the least enthusiastic about my car of my friends.

Mischief im liking that, i might get some black rims to be gangster!

Is the m Sport the 1.8 i take it?

No M Sport is just the trim level, just looks a bit better than the ES/SE/Sport models that's all, but performance is all the same. I believe the prefacelift 116 had 1.6 engines but the newer ones have 2.0 engines

thats mine, hardly say theyre a boring car via looks for a youngish person.

Cosmic, that is the sex to me. Loving the spoiler, did that come with?

Also, on car insurance does your job type matter that much in the end cost, and because of the changes to women's insurance, is there mum point adding my mother to the policy to cheapen it?

Cosmic182 · 21 Mar 2011 at 18:03

The spoiler didn't come with it, it's the BMW performance carbon spoiler, with a price tag of £520 when I bought it, now I think its £680 :eek:

but it also has the darkline rear lights, twin exhaust, privacy glass,performance gear knob and alcantara gear knob and handbrake, aswell as a performance alcantara steering wheel trim, on order is the performance front bumper and side skirts, the performance accessories are addictive

....theres a lot you can do to the 1 series to make them look even better
