1 Series Coupe Launch

Ian, are you sure there was a 5 door coupe??

I suspect he means the dealer had a 1 series coupe, a 3 door 1 series hatch and a 5 door one series hatch.

On the cabrio front, I think you would be safe to assume 6 months before you see it in the showroom - most BMW launches are 5-6 months after the car has first been announced to when it arrives in the showroom.

It was the 2 door Coupe that I was sitting in. I dont think it was in the showroom that long as they were still moving cars about. There was also a 3 door and a 5 door sitting next to it.
No cabrio though. Does it come soon?

There is only a 2 door coupe which isnt to be launched till this sat, Nationwide dealer launches are usually always the same date. 3/5 door door sports hatch and a cabrio that wont be launched till next year but no set date as yet.

Yes it was a 2 door coupe that was in the showroom, and I did mean that there was also a 3 and 5 door hatch there.

Come on Saturday/Sunday... Never realised till now that all the one series Coupes' are Diesel except for the 135i which is obviously Petrol & has 306bhp... now that sounds really nice

135 is the same twin turbo six from the 335 - awesome bit of kit. Engine for me though would have to be the 123 for the power and the mpg.
