2009 BMW 1 Series User Reviews

Pros

Fun to drive. Throaty growl on the turbo. More power than should be legal. Great looking car.

Cons

Pricier than listed here, but after comparing other convertibles, nothing came close.

Purchased As New

Wanted a smaller convertible. Ruled out Minis, VWs - saw an ad on TV for this car and that was pretty much it. Mine is a bright blue with the Moonlight (kind of black) retractable roof and tons of upgrades: heated seats (surprised they aren't standard), upgraded sound system, M Package, navigation, back up alert system. Before I bought, I researched this car on all kinds of car web sites and the only real negative mentioned was some didn't like the look of the car.

For me, I like the way this car looks - I also like that there aren't tons of them on the road. I'm hoping this is a car I can take care of and keep as a collectible for many, many years.

Also, the warranty is complete: 4 years/50K miles (oil changes, even).

I think the trunk space is workable. Back seat small, but not too bad (think: smallish friends) and this car is a little rocket.

No road noise. Visibility okay, even top up.

Drive one. You won't be sorry.
