    Im tempted but its alot of pennies. I have suffered the depreciation of a 1 series before but i am drawn to 1 again. Mabe I would keep this car a bit longer than the last 1 series I had as im a wee bit more insureable now and the fact that Sarah will have a new mini means I wont be mini less .

    Sorry, but I really don't like the 1-series. For that money you would be better buying a 3-series...

    ...or why not have a look at a Golf GTI (brilliant car) or even a GT with 170bhp diesel or 1.4TSI engine. A better looking and more practical car, build quality is also excellent. I would also think residuals would be at least as good or better than a 1-series.

    Ian, that's a cracker.

    The Le Mans Blue is just a fantastic colour. And the 120d M Sport should go like sh!t off a shovel.

    Ian thought you were not to happy with your last 1'er I seem to remember defending the 1'er to you when you were getting the Mini but you were having none of it.??

    what's changed??

    sorry Ian, never liked the 1 series, think it is overpriced, when you can get a 3 series for just a little more £££

    I seem to fancy one again. My insurance was mental for my last 1 series but I can now get quotes for under £1k now that im a wee bit older. Plus I love le mans blue. Just fancy having something a wee bit bigger to go along side the new R56 when it arrives.
    I looked at the golf before but I found the inside a bit drab.
    For the 3 series that I would want (320D sport or M sport with hi fi upgrade and leather) it would cost about £27k which is well over my budget.
