1 series: 3dr vs 5dr vs coupe - Page 2

There is no competition here....Long live the Coupe!

Nikos120i · 07-03-2007, 04:47 AM

I am voting for the 3dr.

I need to clear up, however, that my vote is not biased by the fact that I have ordered the 3dr. Considering that fact that I am comparing the non-Mpack 1er Coupe with the non M-Pack 1er 3dr...I like the 3dr better. I like hatches in general...and if I was going to spend that much money for the 1er Coupe...I'd much rather buy the 3er Coupe which is just gorgeous.

So my vote goes for the 3dr 1er!

I don't like the 1 series coupe mainly because of the size and proportions (too small for a coupe?).

I will vote the 5 door.

No, it's fine for a coupe because after all it only has 2 doors for such a small car. Now 5doors become overkill in such a small car. That IMO is wrong proportions.

"Coupe" for me please, some (part) of everything

its around the size a e30, but that car was small so.. but i would go for the coupe or 3 door. They should had maked the one series just a bit bigger, like an e36 than it was more usefull.

Coupe based solely on personal preference. With the same motor and suspension setup, the difference in feel will likely be transparent to the average driver, which I am. Probably below average actually.

Sorry but....

Mazda MX 5 being sportier than a BMW 135i M sport???
Lighter perhaps.....but that is it! The brakes of the 135i alone probably are bigger that the entire rim of the MX-5, Miata

Uhm, I vote the coupe, since it has become my favorite non M BMW of all time already.
