Calling BMW experts.

Yea a diesel is on a par with a bmx bike to my son.

Thats not going to fool him

That car has also been for sale on PH for almost 3 months. Clearly everyone who goes to view it runs away.

I get the feeling they look at the pictures and decide to not even view it!

That kit ruins it imo.

It really does. Schnitzer and Hamann were nice about 10 years ago, but now all their stuff looks hideous and OTT.

Car looks hideous, end off

Some sort of 1 series coupe? He'll see it as a nice looking BMW, lighter so it might handle a bit better and the power will go further due to it being smaller than his 3?

130i or something if it's in budget?

Otherwise if he's only willing to stay BMW and can't get insured on an M car he'll be begging for another change in a year or so and then it's more money wasted.

They dont do a 130i Coupe? The biggest N/A 1 Series Coupe is the 125i.

Always confuses me that people chose to dispense advice on something it appears they don't know much about

Z4M Roadster/Coupe (or does he need 4+ seats)?

It was a suggestion more than advice. 125i might do then, or a 130i hatch?

How about a 123d with a remap, faster than an M5 I heard (something to do with the torque (at the wheels...) right Fox?)

Some people call the E81 a coupe..

Some people called aeroplanes trees as well, they are about as correct. There is no way anyone could even begin to argue that the E81 (The 3 door hatch) is a Coupe, given that:

a) There already exists in the 1 Series range another bodystyle that actually IS called Coupe
b) It's a 3 door hatchback with an almost vertical sloping rear hatch!

How about a 123d with a remap

Is it really that hard to READ the thread?

A workmate keeps referring to his Volvo c30 as a coupe

I think you took that quote a little out of context - It appears Peerzy was being sarcastic?

 

[[TW]Fox]

He was suggesting a 123d with a remap, and then adding a joke after

Volvo C30 - Four-Seat Sports Coupe

However, that's about as sporty as our old Merc C Class Sports Coupe, which was a hatchback too

And about as coupe shaped as a golf...

 

[DM]

He dont like the look of 1 series, i think it really is a 330 he wants, although he was looking at 5 series earlier.

SAAB. End of thread.

Was being sarcastic

123d with a remap is clearly now what the OP was after.

Mark - get him a 3 then, sounds like the only thing that will keep him happy.
