BMW 1 series convertible

It sounds like you haven't driven one. I haven't either!

The 320i weighs 1360kg and that 2.0l unit is one of the best 2.0l 4cyl you'll find around 115kW plus 200Nm from low down in the range. In theory it should be quite a gun compared to my Astra(1390kg, 92kW and 172Nm).

Also, reading reviews leaves nothing but praise for it's performance and handling.

I have driven many E90 320i's and do drive them on a regular basis, and as you have admitted, you haven't driven one!!!

From my own experiences with them, they are terribly sluggish compared to other 4 cylinders i've driven, mind you the manual isn't so bad, more the auto version!! Have only driven a manual 1.8 AH once so couldn't compare it to yours!!!

Handling and braking are much better than other though, and as said before, same package with a 6 cylinder is much better!!!

Also the same 4 cylinder in a smaller 1 series is better too!!!

Fair enough, each to their own. It's probably just your perception then, I can't find a single review that says they're sluggish.

LOL

He did sound like it...

That's the funny bit...lol

Back on topic!
I don't like the soft top 1 series....the coupe version is sexy as hell though

Just based on performance, yes!!! Power to weight!!!

Best bet is to make your own assumption and drive both before laughing at someone else's opinion!!!

Anyways, for those interested, the 1 series Coupe/Convertible launch is tonight at some dealers in Melbourne, so best chance to go have a closer look at these hot new cars!!!

Maybe even organise a drive of the 135i!!! :dance:
