Replacing the Wife's 120d M Sport 3 Door with a 120d M Sport Coupe. Alpine white with Terra Boston Leather. All in got 11% of list, which means all the options were free.

It'll look like this, except it's a 2012, so it'll have the new front and rear light clusters with LED.

It'll have those 261 wheels, Xenons, heated seats, comfort pack and whole bunch of other stuff. :cool:

When you going to replace that yellow dog you've been beating for far too long?

EPIC THREAD FAIL.

The correct way to make this thread would have been to start it 4 months ago and drag us all through ups and downs, talking about a getting a Bugatti only to leave the thread in limbo and disappear. Finally, resurface after multiple callouts sporting a used salvage title cobalt ss.

All joking aside ,that's a fine looking ride

We used to stock the 128i as out luxury rental at work. Those things were a blast to drive.

Dear lord! 11% of list? I will have to bring you with me the next time I buy a car. With 89% off, you got a lot more than just the options for free.

Seriously though. Nice car.

Awesome DbZ. Love the 1 Series coupe...wish we had the 20d option here in the states in at least one BMW option.

Wrong. You forgot the step where you ask for people's opinions on two radically different cars then insult anyone who offers any advice.

So you went from a 120d to a 120d?

Why? Did she like them that much? (or did you go for even more options the second time round?)

Though to be fair I like the Coupe version...

It's a change up from the three door hatch to the coupe, which she really wanted when we got the last one. It would be hard to beat the options on our current 1, but we did, by adding heated seats and USB audio. :cool:

The diesel engine is great, punts it to 60 in 7 seconds and has almost as much torque as my M3!

I think the coupe is the best looking in the 1 series line up. Is it the refresh model?

Yup torque diesels are very drivable... would like to try one more (got a test drive in a 2.0l tdi... quite enjoyed it, but the sales dude didn't give me long enough :()

10% is about normal down here on this model. Don't think it's that practical of a choice with the M3 already in your household.

However, I was never in a race here...sucks you bought a car just for that reason. Hope you thought it out.

Awesome choice... Except... Why a 2.0 Diesel...?

Not everyone needs uber performance...

7secs to 60mph is plenty for most people.

Most women like small cars...my mum doesn't do big fast cars even though she is insured on my M3 lol

My dad doesn't like my M3's speed either.

Yes, it's the refresh with the LED lights, etc.

Dude, you wish. Real people make plans and execute. Fakers brag and BS forums yet do nothing. I'm way busier than you claim to be, yet I still get stuff done. The refresh of my stable has been in the works for quite a while, I just don't wear it out with everyone here while insulting them, like other posters. ;)

Anyhow, you still lose. Let us know if you buy anything, won't you?
