Anyone know of someone who has one in the Aerdeen area.? Would like to get to grips with one in the flesh.

Looking to change wifies E36 Compact and we were looking at the 1er in JC on sunday.

Unfortunately they don't have the M-Sport as the new models are coming in and the diesel M-Sports are like hens teeth (new or used).

Can anyone help.

If it ain't broke go break it.

120d is defo a wolf in sheeps clothing!

I had a 120d M-Sport as a courtesy car during the summer, was pretty impressed by it! Took it up to Blair Atholl packed to the gunnels with all my stuff and still had plenty of pull in it

Was even more fun when it was empty

Other than that, I was very pleasantly surprised by it, very nice small car, deceptively spacious inside, very easy to drive, ride to be expected from sport models, road noise wasn't excessive on big wheels, all in all, I would probably have bought one if it wasn't a 1 series!

Fabulous car through and through.  An absolute hoot to drive and it handles like a go-kart.  Watch the faces of drivers in your rear view mirror too - for the short time they're in focus when the torque kicks in anyway. 

I wish I'd chosen one instead of my A4 Avant 1.9 TDi Sport.  The 120d is far superior.  It might be a lot smaller, but I'd be a lot happier with one!

You'd never have believed it.

Sourced not one but two...

JC in Dundee have them, now why couldn't Aberdeen have told me this instead ofleaving me scratching my head.

Went down today for a test.

Ewan, your right, a wolf in sheeps clothing for sure. Superb handling to boot.

One down side - price... ouch.

Still thinking about it though.

Want to see the upgraded model first befor deciding.

I'll keep you posted. (Emmm, Audi?, BM?, Audi, Bm, Audi,Bm)...
