BMW 1-series coupe 2010

Overview:

The 1-series is essentially a shortened version of its 3-series big brother. There’s less space than in a 3-series coupe, but the 1 has equally good road manners at a lower price. The 135i is lightning fast, especially for the money.

Price: $30,000 - $37,000

Pros:

Superb inline six-cylinder engines, great steering, fine ride quality, 135i is incredibly quick; 128i is a bargain for a BMW.

Cons:

Too much front-end push at the limit, 135i can get expensive incredibly quickly.

What's New..??

Introduced for 2008; unchanged for 2010.

Behind The Wheel:

The cabin is simple and straightforward, just like in the 3-series. Beautifully balanced and rewarding handling complement smooth power.
