Just noticed theres no 1 series forum.Is there any particular reason for this?
I know it's a new model and theres not many about but they must be gaining in popularity by now.I must have seen all of,I dunno,12 since launch. |

Why do we need a Forum for the Nissan Almera?

It is possible but in a year the X forum has only generated 24 threads - will a 1 forum be even quieter?

Probably.Until some fast ones come out like the 265bhp 130 thats been mentioned.
Would the Mini count as a beemer and have it's own forum? I know chances are it'll have it own site. PS Peter I've been into Fawdingtons twice in a week (braided clutch hose which BMW wouldn't release for some reason :S ,hopefully will be resolved on Monday) and never noticed a single 1.

Theres always one or two in my local Dealer, Preston Hall. But other than them I think I've only seen about 3 on the road.

OK, I will take any of you on, on the track or road of your choice, in a 130i. (You just have to provide the 130i. )

Nissan Almera? What predjudice we have here - and from a 'Really Senior Member!'
This is the kind of thing which gives the BMWCC a reputation for being snobbish, and I really feel that we can do without it. Maybe I don't have a sense of humour, but potential new members who own 1-Series models may feel the same way. Please, let's make all BMW owners welcome, both in person and on this site - I would have thought that anyone who wants to be known as a 'Really Senior Member' would not have to be reminded of simple courtesy. |

Hear, hear! This is exactly the kind of thing that gets car club members described as "a bunch of tweedy old barf mats who sit and reminisce about the colour of the tie they wore to Alberto Ascari's funeral" (PJ O'Rourke, not me! ) If any of you are in doubt that there is a vibrant and enthusiastic 1-series owner community out there, can I suggest that you head over to www.babybmw.net and assuage that doubt immediately.

I agree with making all BMW owners feel welcome, but I don't think the comments about the 1 series were to do with snobishness. My own feelings towards it are to do with a distaste for the styling. I feel exactly the same way about the new 5 and 7 series and to a lesser extent the new 3 and 6. I'm sure the new 130 is a very good car to drive and with 258bhp it will be very fast across country but from a subjective point of veiw I just don't like the way it looks.

I agree as regards the 1 Series styling - it looks rather like a Vauxhall Astra from the rear three-quarter angle, but on the other hand I drive a Z3, which 'Car' magazine described as consisting of the lack-lustre Compact platform, clothed in an odd fish-like body!
Each to his own, but we must remember that others - perhaps 1-Series owning aspiring BMWCC members - are looking at this forum. PS - I am very impressed by all the 'Really Senior Members' here - I've only been a member for five years, so feel suitably humble! The trouble is that if everyone is a Really Senior Member, who is left to be a normal humble member? As Gilbert and Sullivan put it - 'If everybody's somebody, nobody's anybody!' |

The really senior member title is determined by the number of posts on this forum. In reality I certainly don't regard myself as 'really senior'
