2009 BMW 1 Series User Reviews

Pros

Handling, Steering, acceleration....drivers dream

Cons

not made for rough roads

Purchased As New

Purchased mine in germany and picked up there and after test driving i knew i was hooked. If you have ever wanted a car that u enjoy getting into every day this is it. Hugs all the corners and accelerates when needed on the autobahn especially. Braking is wonderful and cruising at 100mph feels like going 70 in other cars...smooth as butter.

Options i picked on mine was the USB. IF you got this for ur ipod ur gonna need another cord to purchase from BMW. USB drives are plug and play which is fantastic. Throw on the mp3s and go. Heated seats...nuff said. Neon lights...these bad boys light up the road...amazingly clear and can see everything and they turn when u turn the wheel. Got the sports package so i could get the speed limiter taken off and the more sporty feel. Can't say i'm not happy about that. One of my fav is the keyless entry and keyless start. If you haven't seen this go and check it out at the dealership. U put ur fingers on the handle and if the keys are in range it opens the door. So now you have no worries about scratches and can leave ur keys in ur pocket. Push button ignition...and u lift up on the trunk and it opens like the door. To lock you just push down on the top with ur thumb.

One thing i haven't used as much and probably won't get again but others may is the rear parking assist.

Overall a great machine that wants to be driven...i have yet to find many issue with it...well my back seat passengers would disagree...not much room back there. Big boxes/packages u will need another car. They just don't fit as this isn't a big haul car but fits my needs for shopping for daily stuff.

This car is fun...i'm going to hate going back to 70 mph speed limits but i guess it will be ok. The price usually scares people off but once u drive it u will understand. Oh and the 135 is worth it if you have the extra money. I just didn't need that much power.
