Not the popular choice, people mostly seem to like R32 or S3 if going hatch, or E46 3 series for power at this money, but this is exactly what I wanted. I had to be patient to find the right car with the toys I wanted (Pro Nav, Electric leather, BT,USB, Bi Xenon). Perfect replacement after 4 great years in the 147 GTA.

What happened with the 335i?
Probably didnt like the seat position.Or the dealer he went to was sh*t.
Nothing wrong with the cars at all. According to 3 mates of mine that work at BMW the 335 is one of the most reliable cars they have ever built!
Sure, its a late 57 (Face lift is 07, all three doors are face lift & efficient dynamics ), 12k miles. Cost £19k. New in this spec it would cost £34k ! which explains why you dont see many, at that money buyers are going to choose / aspire to something different.
Is the 1 series still rwd?
I'm not a big fan if i'm honest, mainly because I struggle to tell the difference from the 116 and 130 for example, specially when they are behind you on the motorway it just looks like a generic 3 series...impossible to tell if its actually fast or not.
Performance though looks impressive, and looking at this spec it should return 30mpg too?

Happy with how it drives?
I can understand that, Im not a de badger but I like the low profile. Yes its RWD
These are the book MPG figures
Urban 23.2 mpg, Extra Urban47.1 mpg, Combined34 mpg
47mpg !, £210 tax bracket, 5.8 to 60, The efficient dynamics is pretty smart, regenerative breaking, electric water, oil, steering pumps !

Thats really good then, impressive actually.
Was just checking, I was pretty sure it was still rwd, but being a hatch I didn't know if they had used the same fwd layout as the bini etc.
Yes, very pleased. My first RWD, feels solid, lovely gear change, plenty quick enough. You will hear people endlessly slate the run flats and M sport suspension combo but they must be used to a typical saloon comfort, for a fast hatch its fine.

True, 30 mixed, 40 on a run.

Driving position is one of the best in any car i've sat in. Just felt right for me.
Yeah you obviously know more about them, having not owned one you're in a perfect position to comment on my experience.
You're obviously right, there was nothing wrong with it at all, just didn't like the colour
Owned for 8 months, 2 roadside callouts + 9 trips to the dealers for various electrical faults.
3 coil packs
2 injectors
& a whole new wiring loom.
reliability personified.
