Giannis · 01-25-2007, 03:43 PM

and 5 door:

Just_me · 01-25-2007, 03:44 PM

less doors are more fun

I think the 3door improve the handling also it looks better than 5 doors.

Giannis · 01-25-2007, 03:45 PM

IMO, 5 door looks better, and it's more practical, too. I bet that the handling differences are not chaotic. So 5 door 1er for me.

PS. Andreas you forgot to vote

3dr...looks more sporty...and it fits the BMW character!

I also like the pillarless doors...

The 3 door looks better in the pics Giannis posted so i will vote for it.

5 door 130i for myself.

I would personally never buy a 3 door hatch back for around 20 but the 1er 3 doors doesn't look that bad but then again the picture of the 5 door is a bit unfair.

3 door hands down its very hot..
and ive driven and been in a 4 door..
thos rear seats.. and the small rear doors.. its not even worth..its like a 2 door anyways

3 dr because the rear dr of the 5 dr version looks too small. Besides, the 3dr looks more balanced, sportier and just more youthful I guess. This would be a very cool track/weekend car.

Simple. The sexier one - the 3 door.
