Have had universally positive comments from all that I have shown it to, particularly the most controversial aspect of the design - front lights.

Honestly from all the people who saw my car told me how much they liked the front lights (and i don't have the xenon option! )

When i first saw the first picture of the new 1 series i said to myself what are these headlights?! However, didn't take me too long to appreciate the design esspecially when i saw the car up close! I guess it was the surprise you get when you are used to the old 1 series design and you see something completely different. Also, i remember on the first 1 series people talking about its strange proportions. What about that now?

(as many people don't realize there is a second generation)

Garage List
The most common questions are:

- ''How Much?''
- ''Which model is this?'' (I do not have the 116i badge)

Best one was 2 weeks ago from a police officer who had stopped me for speeding (155kph, limit was 120 kph): ''Is it with the 136 or 170 bhp?''

True that on the price!

Omg. That is epic. At least your police officer knows his cars. If I was stopped, I wouldn't mind all the questions about the car to substitue for the ticket
