martinmac Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 They can do all this but still cant make the indicators or mirrors work!!!! Quote
Chris`I Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 They can do all this but still cant make the indicators or mirrors work!!!! Thought the indicators were optional? I have seen them work on the few that bought the upgrade pack Quote
Dan Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 I can't understand why they have done that, isn't it going to compete with their own 3 series Coupe ? Quote
Jacko Posted July 2, 2007 Author Posted July 2, 2007 I can't understand why they have done that, isn't it going to compete with their own 3 series Coupe ? Yeah does seem a bit strange Dan..... Not that I care, its a bloody beemer! Quote
Kev946 Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 It looks nicer than the 1 series saloon or should I say bread van... They say it's light. That's a joke, 1560kg is heavy and even a little heavier than the Zed which is 1545 kg I believe. Quote
Jacko Posted July 2, 2007 Author Posted July 2, 2007 What an ugly little runt of a car! +5,897,642 Quote
GC350z Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 Agreed. Always thought of the Onezy as the runt of the BMW family and people who buy them are muppets. Quote
Kev946 Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 Agreed. Always thought of the Onezy as the runt of the BMW family and people who buy them are muppets. Why. You get a well balanced rear drive car with a decent build quality. Most of the alternatives are FWD. As most of you have experienced RWD I think you wil agree it makes for a more drivers car. Quote

RWD is pretty much its only selling point other than the badge. Its ugly, rides badly and appallingly packaged. Quote
Kev946 Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 really minging - bmw are going downhill fast.. But selling more cars than Nissan and making a profit.... Quote
GC350z Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 I actually like the BM styling. 3, 5, 7 and Z4 coupe all look great. But not the Onezy. I think it looks cheap in comparison and I feel it brings the brand down. Now lets throw this one into the mix. The new Merc C class. How much of a BMW is it???????? I saw the ad and thought "Nice BM". Then it paned round to the front and the Merc logo became visible. Quote
Digsy Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 really minging - bmw are going downhill fast.. But selling more cars than Nissan and making a profit.... Frankly that's because so many people are prepared to buy any old tat as long as it has a prestige badge. In the last 2 weeks Autocar have put a new Mondeo and a Nissan Skyline G35 up against the 3 series and both times the non-prestige competitor was as good if not better than the Bee Emm. Will 3 series drivers buy them or even consider them - not likely! Prestige badges are like the emperors new clothes, particularly in their entry level ranges. Quote
Chris`I Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 I think it looks better than the original 1 series, but they need to get rid of the "dent" in the doors Quote

I've driven many £60k+ cars and mine feels, drives and is built as good as any of them. I think you lot have some kind of BMW complex.... Quote

I never suggested all BMW's were tat but that they can sell unmpressive cars at high prices on the badge alone - I'm thinking X3 and 1-series. Remember, I'm the one who has the Z4 Coupe fetish. I'm no Bee Emm hater, just a realist. Quote
CDR_UK Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 I reckon it looks ok, especially if it was in a decent colour with the shadowline window trim. Then there's the performance - should be spot on, and with good and simple tuning potential. The brakes also look like they could be decent. Finally there is the quality - which is sure to be fantastic. I will definitely test drive one. I'm a bit dissapointed that it only weighs 40kg less than a 335i though. The 2007 Z is 1603kg for the base model, and ~1630 for the GT version - too lardy for a two seater coupe! Quote

My car is only 1715kg which is only 7% heavier... When will it end... Quote
