Yesterday I had the pleasure of picking up my new car, a BMW 130i. It's an SE spec but has Professional Navigation with Bluetooth, full electric boston black leather sports seats, BMW assist and roof spoiler. Took a couple of piccies below:

Quite a different car in comparison with my Audi but I simply love it and the sound it makes is superb. :cool:
 
I hope you enjoy the engine car, but to me I think the 1 series is one of the ugliest cars currently in production.
 
Congrats, a very nice piece of engineering and a nice achievement at your tender age. :)

Unfortunately I don't like the styling one bit, but that's just me & frankly I couldn't care less what anyone thinks about my taste in styling and no doubt you're the same. :)

Did you go for manual or auto?
 
Good on ya dude i'm pleased for you.
Is that dirty fingerprints on the air box, tut tut :p

Same here. It's what you like that's important and in my case I'm very happy with the 1 Series.

Went for the manual box in the end.

Hi there

I too thought the same when he mentioned the 1 series regarding the styling. However now upon seeing it in the flesh I think it looks great from the front and rear. Its only the side thats a bit off putting. 3 series is best looking in my oppinion.

However the 1 series does have one advantage and thats the fact it only weighs 1375kg which is not bad for a modern car plus Adam tells me his 3.0l Straight 6 produces more power than the ones in the 3 and 5 series, plus he quotes 5.8s 0-60 time which seems very respectable with 100mph coming up in 14s. Which considering its new and is only GRP17 car seems damn good performance. There are some GRP20 cars which are slowers than Ads new 130i. :)

Sounds bang on to me, my remapped 330 appears to be doing it bang on 6 seconds but that's lugging 100 more kilos of lard.

I think BMW's quoted figures are usually smack on.
 
if you see a strange bloke noseing at it don't worry i'll not put my dirty fingers on it i promise.... i keep looking for the 130i's but you don't see to many. hope you enjoy it!
