BMW 1 series convertible

[imay]

Would be good if you can actually fit 2 people in the rear of the coupe, would make it a much better option for everyday practicality...

But Ange, that's like suggesting it's good to have 2 people in the back of the 'vert. I know the seating is there, the seat belts are there, the leg room is there, but it's just not meant to be! Same for the Coupe. All that extra weight in the back, and the constant chatter that interrupts the premium sound hi-fi or the sweet sound of the engine as you give it a squirt along your favorite bit of bitumen . . .
Room in the back for 2 more . . . nah! That's where I hang my jacket!

depends what you are after mate! Having a four door does not mean you need to carry people around..just means it easier to get your jacket in and out. . also, if the misses is up for it, u have the option of using the back seats without too much worry about how to fit in the back.

I'm a little confused by the above...dosn't really answer my query ??

I just wanted to know how much room there is in the back of the 135i coupe ??? and if 2 people would seat comfortably, as I'm already aware that it's a small car - for me this is important for an 'everyday' car consideration, as I'll have kids or other people to sometimes cart around !!! I already have my 1 or 2 only people car with a sweet ICE set up for fun only driving

Coupes usually have more space in the back than their equivalant convertible model...I've never used or considered my vert or any other vert as an everyday car, although some of the bigger ones would easily pass for this

I'll just have to go and check one out for myself and see if it suits my needs, as I love nearly everything else about it oh, except for the price tag with all the goodies thrown in

Ange you can always check out the Merc CL65...plenty of room in the back

Pretty sure it was Prahran...it was just off Malvern Rd.

To be honest, there's not a great deal of room in the back of the 1 Coupe, kids should be ok, but a decent size adult will find it hard!!! I guess that's where the premium for the 3 series lies!!!

Still haven't got a chance to drive one as yet, hoping to do so tomorrow or saturday!!!!

Thanks Steve

Will you be driving a 135i TT ?

If so look enjoy it and I forward to your review - I'm sure you'll have a very big smile from it and also you'll be able to give an excellent comaparo of it to a powerful V8, which like you I also am very interested in
