It's funny that some posters in the E90 forum from where those pictures were taken were not too impressed with the 1er coupe. To each their own I guess.

I think it takes some time to grow on you. Looks of a car are very subjective and I for one did not like the car in the first spy shots I had seen. It looked to squatty, but now that real photos are out it looks anything but and really resembles what the 3 series used to be IMO before it got too big.

This car has a hate it or love it factor. Its 50/50. Many of those guys over there at e90post are a bit jealous of the 1 and dont even know it. I mean its a smaller, lighter, more personal bmw. Not to mention more powerful that the non 335i's. I really do respect the 335i and other 3 series drivers on this forum that dont hate on the vehicle...and are interested in buying it.

Hate the wheels and am confused about some of the trim on this car: still no M Sport steering wheel and shift knob, and Shadowline instead of chromeline.

Also, good to see an interior without iDrive. Looks good without it, especially in that lemon upholstery.

It's human nature to hate or dislike cars that are not your own. On G35driver when the G37 came out everyone hated it because it improved on everything the G35 didn't have so people started complaining about this and that. It's the same with the 3, looks are so subjective and the opinions on looks tend to change over time as it has already with the new G37.

It proved upon everything but speed. My neighbor bought a 05 Black G35 with the 19inch wheels and everything. I drove it. Handled very well. Its a very good car. He is dissapointed with the new numbers of the G37. Looks are okay for him. 330HP 0-60 in 5.3??? He's looking at an M3 now. Lets not thread-jack this time!!

The black 1 coupe has potential but I'm still sold on white!

It's grown on me, I think once we see it in person we will like it even more.

Which black do y'all reckon that is, Sapphire??
Looks perfect (I'd still get the std 5-spokes though)

Hard to tell, but I would guess sapphire since they would want to show the more expensive metallic paint imo.

That interior does have iDrive. The controller knob is concealed by the emergency brake handle, and the display screen is folded down on top of the dash.
