2009 BMW 1 Series User Reviews

Pros

So much acceleration, even my die hard Audi lover friends are in love with my car, unique appearance

Cons

The second cup holder is hard to get to but still usable

Purchased As New

First, the gas mileage improves after the first 2500miles. I am heavy on the gas and get over 28.5mpg consistently on the highway with plenty of accelerations!
Second, the drive and feel of the car is incredible. I have driven so many different fast cars and this car would hold its own in acceleration and handling against the best of them. No car under at this price point or below would be able to outrun you; throw in some curves, and the other car might as well not even try. 0-60 is easy 4.7 sec or faster and the real speed comes at about 3500rpm in 3rd all the way through 6th gear. The car just pulls forever!
Sexy exterior, and for a totally non luxury, sports coupe, the interior is more than good enough.
Upgraded sound system rocks; M package is a must!

This car has some of the best looking wheels, calipers, and brakes of any factory set I have seen (minus like a Ferrari, Porsche or Lambo but it would again, stand along with them!)

You gotta test drive this car, and if you can, test one with the upgraded exhaust (which I have). The sound is phenomenal!
