Same here. Once we get it, I am eager to try it out and compare it to my experiences with Benzes. You guys will be the first to know!

Have you driven the new 118i? The 1-Series recently got a facelift and BMW canned the old 118i engine.
Yeah, the facelift 5 door. Very good car

Definitely, but you shouldn't compare a 1-Series to an E-Class. Different cars completely. The 1-Series doesn't even compete with the A or B-Class. Currently Mercedes has nothing that challenges the 1-Series and they won't build anything either AFAIK.

Congratulations, Christian!

The best choice definitely and the car in those pics looks breathtaking!

Congrats and many happy miles!

PS: I know your MB testdrive/review freak, but that doesn't mean that we won't see another great one, but this time with BMW.

Yeah but even then, for me buying a car before test driving it would be unthinkable!

Anyway, congratulations again.

Great news! Maybe, if we're lucky, you'll join the dark side if your sister lets you get behind the wheel time in her new ride.

Thanks Tycoon.

Can't wait to testdrive the 1-Series on Monday! And I can't wait until my sister get's hers. She's already told me I'm allowed to drive it.
