Not a fan of the car at the moment, have to see it in person first.

The designers appear to have been playing angry birds when they were shaving the clay. I hear the angry birds song every time I see the new One.

Every comment is about the look, and nothing about the 'no fun to drive' verdict? And we wonder why BMWs don't drive like they used to - their customer base is more interested in appearances...

Maybe what they want to do is to make a car that is very mainstream, with an attention grabbing looks to say that it's a bimmer. Even so, they will end up disappointing a lot of existing customers. |

I like my 135i, but it's not the best handling BMW I've had. My E46 325i with sport handled a bit better, with less under steer, and didn't pitch as much as my 135i sport. The power of the N54/N55 is wonderful, and I think a lot of drivers are willing to forgive the handling negatives. However, once the thrill of the power becomes more familiar you're left wanting in the handling department. I was hoping to read that the new chassis was going to improve the handling, but from this review it seems BMW decided that aspect was not as important as trying to give more LEGROOM for rear passengers? That tells me that this car was more designed for the growing number of people who need and want to downsize to get better MPG, and not for driving enthusiasts. Shame. I hope that BMW really does address the handling with the sport package tuning, and simply add firmer and lower springs. Sounds like a true handling package will be needed that addresses the issue more comprehensively. BMW, I'm waiting. You've got till next spring to get something better into the hands of the automotive testers. I need to order my next car by early June. If what I want doesn't happen I'll be moving on. |

I have not read a stunning new BMW review except for the new M5.
Audi 8 over BMW 7 Audi 6 over BMW 5 Audi Q5 over BMW X3 Audi TT over BMW Z4 Audi S4 over my BMW 335i coupe/sports (close though) Hope the new 4 and 2 changes things up, and look good. Else I could be moving on. |
