I saw a storm bay coloured one at the dealers today... Definitely the colour for me! Just like a tcr lol... Looks good with the gloss black spoiler and diffuser bits. Also the front grill looks a little less shouty.

You must be getting a good amount of free coffee at your local BMW dealer Fred?! You'll be getting an invite to their Xmas party if you're lucky  :grin:

Storm Bay!

When I went to test the 135i there was a Storm Bay M Sport 118 in the dealership and it was definitely the colour I’d choose.

I saw the car I test drove parked up in Sainsburys today, must’ve been a sales exec picking up his lunch en route to work. The blue is certainly striking but it was good to see the 1 series out in the wild away from the confines of the dealership.

Delivery and hand over were great. The sun was even shining all day which was perfect.

Car had been detailed and ceramic coated which gave a fantastic finish. Driven about 100 miles and absolutely love it. It is very effortlessly fast, very quiet with a bit of a throaty engine noise although it’s probably mostly falsely created. Lovely handling and light direct steering. Does feel very Golf like which is perfect for me and seems to have plenty of grip. The roads are wet and dirty today but it feels very secure.

Great seats and interior as well. Kids would say a little less rear room but I have the seat pretty far back. Boot a bit smaller too although it has a false floor which can maybe be removed to give more depth.
Technology good and more detailed than the GTi so I’m still working
On learning that.

Overall I’m delighted. Any questions please ask.

Congrats davy, get some photos up!
Was very tempted with one of these myself, the test drive really impressed me.

Go for it if you can as the drive really is good. Not sure my technical skills go as far as posting pics if a hosting site is needed.

A bit late for me now as I bought a TCR instead.

Congrats on your new baby!  :cool:

I thought the boot was EXACTLY the same size as the golf Mk7 - 380 litres? Whether both figures are with the floor moved though I am not sure, but they should be the same.

I'm still really keen on getting one.... just have to wait a little longer.

Yes that figure must be with the floor removed. With the floor in place or is definitely not as deep by a margin.
