So say Fifth Gear, 13/30, oh dear! Got to say I completely agree with pretty much all they said.

Doesn't bode well for FWD in the 1er......

So what do we say to the first 'member' to buy one.

Picture the scene.


Nick posts a new thread...

' have bitten the bullet and just got a 'lovely proper gods fuel 225i AT'

Then Nick. Goes on about how it is not only is it an amazing car powered by Gods love juice, but it's first car he can fit his ego in'

So how do we handle the first Active Tourer purchaser......

But as Fifth Gear says, theres plenty of other just as good options out there which are cheaper, its FWD so its dynamics are not BMW and thus no better than the other options as well.

Its a territory BMW never needed to enter.

I 100% agree with VBH's comment, something along the lines of "BMW should stick to making semi premium sport saloons [which they are good at]"

Nothing against the AT, it just isn't a BMW.
