That is one tasty 1-series

Today, in unnecessary car shopping with E90M3, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! that is equipped quite well. First lets start with the interior, it’s equipped with this wonderful Boston Oyster leather, which is the same as my dad’s 135is.

What’s that hiding between the front seats? That’s right, it’s a 6-speed.

Not a massive fan of the 1M style front bumper, but the fitment at least appears good.

Since I already have an N52 powered BMW coupe with a manual, who has 10k lying around to scoop this one up?

If I didn’t already have an n52 powered coupe, I would probably be buying this.

I don’t need a salvage titled BMW in my life.

Was wondering why it was so cheap, didn't read enough of the description.

Hmm, would a hood, headlight, and fender really have totaled this car? My guess is there was much more, like all the suspension components. Or worse.

Doubtful on those items totaled the car, so I would assume you’re correct about the suspension being damaged.

I love the original 1 series, especially the 128 for its simpler, non-turbo setup.

Are these cars otherwise reliable with regular maintenance?

Apart from coils and gaskets that aren’t the head gasket, these are pretty reliable. I’ve put 38k on my 328i since March 2017.

What a tragic look the 1M gives you. As a whole, the 1M is a stunning looking machine, but without the fenders the front end just looks like a tasteless body kit.

Manual 128i is a fantastic choice.
