Well the few days I had the 118i it was good enough. Engine was very smooth, BMW 4 pot seems to be pretty good. Complain for complaining sake, if it has the fast steering rack, it'd be much better. I don't current car buyers will be able to tell the difference between 4 or 6 around town, especially there are enough people buying it just for the badge. No, no replacement for the 6, but it seems inevitably we will be tree huggers soon enough.
I am all for fuel saving if they can pull it off. My few run ins with the A45 AMG finding it is an amazing car pull in the straight (or I am not suppose to say that here
) I hope it sucks or has kink in its armor on the mountains though.
I am stuck in the days when you have to make enough road going version of the race cars, so they have enough of a connection.... One thing good about the F1 of 2014, is that we are able to hear the team radio more clearly
