2009 BMW 1 Series. It is common in the automotive world for cars to grow bigger and more expensive with each iteration. After decades spent as the brands least-expensive option, the venerable BMW 3 Series has moved up the food chain enough to justify a vehicle beneath it. Enter the 1 Series, a car that aims to deliver BMW luxury, performance and style in a smaller package.

After the modest success of the compact 318ti in the late 90s, BMW is understandably cautious about stepping back into the world of small cars. While BMW offers other 1 Series variants in Europe, including three- and five-door wagon models, for now BMW has opted to bring only coupe and convertible 1 Series to America.

3.5 liter - FAIL

[bramblecino]

one of the best bimmers ever IMO. I'd love to have one but I'd feel like such a douchbag driving it......oh well

[Birgler14]

sounds like tanner foust

[kattlikzm]

@j11ssr lol it's a 3 liter, not a 3.5

[therealWTFproduction]

@tinymonkeys3 It's fantastic. Great beginner car. The strengths it has relate mainly to it's ability to turn and handle. But I'm slowly adding HP to mine. You'll love the way it drives!

@therealWTFproduction

Thanks man! lol

yeahhh i can't wait =p

How's the performance on it?

[therealWTFproduction]

@tinymonkeys3 I agree. Nice car garage, it's a good collection! The new 1 series is absolutely awesome. When you first start diving it it is great, but then once you break it in it gets even better!

@therealWTFproduction

i agree with you. I think the 1 series looks amazing.

and this guy says he has a 2004 325xi.....

not gunna lie but the old model bmws look ugly nowadays.

but your family has some pretty nice cars!

Mine only has an is250, a S5 and a c300 >.<

looking forward to getting a 1 series for me though!

[therealWTFproduction]

@abcman And the 3 series coupe is not practical, or good looking in any way.

[therealWTFproduction]

@abcman I'm not bashing Toyota, my family owns two japanese cars. My mom owns an IS-F and has owned 3 Lexus' before that, they are great cars! My brother owns a GT-R that a great car two! If I had the money to, I would have purchased a GT-R or a nice Lexus right off the bat. But I didn't, so I drove a bunch of cars and purchased this one because it had the best feel and value. You can't realize the true value of a BMW until you've owned one for awhile, you should know.

[therealWTFproduction]

@abcman Bad guess because I know a lot about cars, grew up in that kind of family. I'm 16 and for my first I purchased a 1012 128i, you know why? Because I got an amazing deal, it handles better than any 3 series, the 1 series (disregarding the m3 and m1) is generically faster than it's 3 series' counterparts, It's smaller (I live in LA it lets me weave more and I fit into all parking spaces), not to mention the great gas mileage I get.
