1 series coupe

sheps · 05-27-2008, 09:59 AM

Just about to leave to go and collect my sisters 1 series coupe M Sport - she is so excited, bless her.

Pictures will be up in a couple of hours.

Can't wait to have a go in it myself to be honest!!!

booforty · 05-27-2008, 10:13 AM

Yes, let us know what you think!

Looking forward to seeing the pictures

Sorry, I just re-read my OP and it wasn't very clear - I was taking her to pick it up - she wanted me (aka mr fussy) to look over it for her and be there with her incase the dealer tried to fob her off with anything.

Fortunately it was a very positive experience and it all went swimmingly. I've got some good shots, although I went back to the office afterwards and stupidly left my camera there, so pics will be up in the am.

She had to shoot straight off, so I didn't get a chance to have a go, but I've spoken to her since collection and in her words "It goes like a rocket and handles like a go kart"

She's promised me a go at the weekend, which I'm really looking forward to.

sheps · 05-28-2008, 02:42 AM

Ok, here are a few shots I got yesterday.
I'll be meeting up with her at some point over the weekend, so I'll get some better shots (including interior ones) as well as have a proper go in it.

and finally, Murketts M3 demo - yum yum

jjbirch · 05-28-2008, 03:22 AM

nice pics i like your plate in the background suits you lol, i think black suits the coupe very well and le man is the best colour when the sunshine is out

cycler · 05-28-2008, 08:35 AM

Beautiful cars. Hope your sister enjoys the 1 coupe.

dxb335d · 05-28-2008, 09:54 AM

I really like the 1er coupe at the moment cracking little car.

is your sisters a 123d? Not much HP less than your 325 shepsy mate!

Carlos

Is a 120d mate - She would have liked to have gone for more power (as well as gone nuts with the options) but she's in the middle of starting her own company at the moment, so has had to keep the finances under tight control.

She only managed to get the M Sport (she was looking at an ES) because I nailed the dealer to the wall. Her finance payments on the M Sport ended up being £3 a month cheaper than he started off on an ES!

She'll probably keep this for three years and then change up for something with more HP and a few more boxes ticked.

With that said, I'm expecting even the 120d to keep pace with my 325i in-gear (although if I swap cogs she'll have her work cut our catching me!)

dxb335d · 05-28-2008, 10:55 AM

what if she fits a tuning box lol 214bhp then. Will go like the clappers.

Looks a cracking car for sure. I really do like them!

Ssshhhh, don't tell her that!!
I'd never live it down, my little sister having a faster car than me!!

Probably because we have M-Sport, don't think USA does

beemerbird · 05-28-2008, 04:36 PM

Nice car - I like the 1 series coupes.

Gibbo · 05-28-2008, 05:01 PM

Nice sheps, I will be interested in a review 1 coupe vs 3 coupe if you get a good run in the car. Looks good the 1'ster coupe is growing on me all the time.

CrimsonRedE93 · 05-29-2008, 07:19 AM

Nice pics sheps, I am still not sure about the shape, perhaps it will grow on me

E92-Lighting · 06-01-2008, 06:13 PM

i like the color

just like mine

ChrisMWard · 06-04-2008, 02:44 PM

I've allways liked the one series coupe right from the off. I've only driven the 123d M Sport and it was extremley quiet and civilised with no turbo lag at all. Great little package.

Regards

Chris
