BMW 1-series with a 3.0 V6!

Jostyrostelli · February 9th, 2005, 09:13 AM

BMW's gonna give the 1-series a 3.0 V6, it will be the 130i.
The V6 will have 258hp and this same engine was put in the 6-series earlier this year. The 3 and the 5 will get this engine too.
Topspeed of 250km/h and 0-100kmh in 6,2 seconds!!
Fuelconsumptions is about 9L/100km.

I don't think people will buy this cause it will be too expensive, for the same money you could get a real sportscar that looks like a sportscar.
I think this 1-series is already a car for grannys. Never saw a young guy/girl in it. Who wants a 4-doorcar that can do -100 in 6,2 seconds anyway? Your kids in the back will puke everytime you push the throttle.

I guarentee you this will be a SHITLOAD of money. I dont know how much it'll be pricewise but you could get a REAL sportscar for that money. Im with you on this one Josty images/smilies/wink.gif

Jostyrostelli · February 9th, 2005, 09:32 AM

Considering the BMW 120 already was too expensive, this will be like a Passat W12, a car you don't want to go fast in.

Vette Boss · February 9th, 2005, 09:46 AM

Looks nice, plenty of power also. But the performance you get for the money isn't enough. My Nissan was like $22k and it has virtually the same performance for 2/3 the price. I could get something more serious for the price of this BMW, like a used Porsche Boxster S or BMW E46 M3.

Where's that "you suckers will buy anything pic"? Haha. images/smilies/bmwpoo.gif

Looks like one of those sad depressed teachers you see at school who were bullied as children.

As for the mention of power, if you want a big boys engine, get a big boys car. My grandmother would look perfect in this images/smilies/wheelchair.gif

Vette Boss · February 9th, 2005, 10:18 AM

Yeah, I like the 1-series as a whole package, but the performance just doesn't add up for me. Which is why I thought you bought a BMW to begin with, the driving experience.

A bunch of snotty rich people that thing they're too good for a Focus or similar car will buy the 1-series. I would still say that BMW is still the best if you're planning to buy a German car, M-B's are ugly and they fall apart, and Audi's are starting to get fatter and softer.

Buba · February 9th, 2005, 11:21 AM

I'm german and biased, but this car will be brilliant! And expensive! But what the heck... just get a 118i sign on it and eat all the tuned golfs...
Actually around my place I've seen one of them driving around, the factory is only 20 miles away...

BUT, if I would have the amout of money to buy it, I'd go for a 10000 km M3 nevertheless...

And it will have a straight six, not a V6...

chaos386 · February 9th, 2005, 03:17 PM

And the 3.0 will now officially be the most whored engine ever, as it's available in EVERY BMW model now. Even so, I think the 130i will be brilliant, but I'm biased towards BMW. This is also interesting for another reason. People were speculating the M1 would be getting a 250hp engine, but if the 130i already has 258hp, that means the M1 would have...

Mischief007 · February 9th, 2005, 05:41 PM

Cool. Looks good. I like the 1-series except it is way too expensive. images/smilies/sad.gif

Too bad.

andyhui01 · February 9th, 2005, 06:45 PM

I think this car is setup to go against cars like the Golf GTi and other upper-end hot hatches on the market... I would prefer this over the Golf GTi.... anyone with me? images/smilies/biggrin.gif

True i would also prefer it over the GTI, but in the styling department, the 1 series needs some minor work.

Jostyrostelli · February 9th, 2005, 06:50 PM

^Nooo, you guys are kidding right? A Golf GTi is worse than this BMW 1series? Come on...The GTi may not look very good, but this...it's not really a sporty car is it?

andyhui01 · February 9th, 2005, 06:52 PM

well it has my fav. BMW engine... 3.0l I6... images/smilies/biggrin.gif

FliPP · February 9th, 2005, 06:55 PM

The new GTI sucks, if we were to talk about the MK1 MK2 or MK3 GTI's, i would be all for it, but i completely hate the MK4 and MK5 Golfs, i just don't like there styling.

Kip_6666 · February 9th, 2005, 06:59 PM

If it had a m badge on it I think it would have got a better acceptance.

zenon · February 9th, 2005, 07:08 PM

The GTI is front wheel drive and the 1 Series is rear wheel drive. For that reason alone I would choose the 1 Series. I think the 1 Series would be a pretty fun car with 260HP.

chaos386 · February 9th, 2005, 08:20 PM

^Yeah, considering it will be lighter than a 350Z and have only 18 fewer hp, I don't know why it's a bad car. But if you don't like the styling you won't want one no matter what engine they put in it or how much it costs. images/smilies/bangin.gif

Jostyrostelli · February 9th, 2005, 08:23 PM

RWD is a good point didn't think of that...I might wanna get a testdrive in it anyway when I'm gonna have too much money.
