That makes a lot of sense.

Re: ***Preview: My Sister's Possibly Soon-To-Be BMW 118i***

Hmm, 1er is starting to become a girls' car? Here, there is a huge number of hot chicks that drive a 1er, mostly 116's though...

Anyway, your sister made the right choise. I was in the same position 3 months ago, too. Dad also decided to buy my sister a car. I was the only one trying to persuade her to get a 118i. My dad tried to make her buy a Volvo C30 (no comment) and she ended up with a Renault Megane CC. And with that ridiculus 1.6l engine... Girls...

Christian, 1er is impressive! Pray that your sister will go for it

PS. Her Megane Sucks Big Time, and i tell it to her every morning, until she dumps it in the see and buy the goddamn 1er

Hello!
Great car, but based on your post i checked the german pricelist and that special rims are only available on M Sports Package, they are not part of the Advantage Package. Maybe you have a special deal on the rims with you dealer, but if not, then no M-package means not that rims...Maybe thats an argument for you to "get" the M Package.

Best regards, south

I don't like the 1 series very much as a design but that white one with those rims looks cool.

Re: ***Preview: My Sister's Possibly Soon-To-Be BMW 118i***

Wimmer, the Golf deal is ridiculous. For that price I'd have went for a 1er too.

Congrats on having a BMW in the family. The white + sports package looks really good. I'm guessing you're taking a black interior? And cloth?

It has to be said, it looks great. And yeh, the engine is great. Generous power and really impressive fuel economy. Definitely a car we are going to consider for the future.

Probably.

After driving a 1-Series, she'll probably insist that her next car is a Porsche or a Ferrari.
