Agree. The front end kills it for me.

Love the color. Looks kinda ricey to me though, especially the front.

I wonder what size and offsets the wheels will be... Could be a nice OEMish upgrade!

They looked like regular CSL-type wheels to me; that's not much of an upgrade because it's the same as what we have now. lol
I think that front end is downright menacing, in a good way.

I could definitely see myself moving out of the ZHP for one of these in a 3-4 years. Definitely. ZHP will be well up in the high mileage range by then and this freaking thing is already tempting me.

Alpine white with the black interior/orange stitching/alcantara. MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Give us a cloth option dammit!

The whole 1 platform just looks squashed and bottom heavy to me.

I thought they would grow on me over time, but I find them to be amongst the least visually pleasing bimmers ever made.

I just saw this comment and personally have you say, you could do worse.
I think the E65/66 7 series is much, much, much worse, by a very long shot.
Not a huge fan of the E60 either; I liked it at first but over time I thought it looked worse and worse (the refreshes made it look better, but in my mind I liked it less overall).

That is one 1er that I would DEFINITELY consider buying used as a track toy.

I agree with you, but I still don't like 'em. I don't like most of the stuff that Bangle had a hand in designing...
