Was a very fun car. Fast as hell and great handling. The electric steering was..interesting...I think I'd need more time with it to make a call on how well it works. My dad drove it too and he really likes it. We're going back on Saturday for him to maybe buy it.

UPDATE: He ended up not buying it because he couldn't get what he wanted for his trade-in. Right when we got finished test-driving it, two dudes showed up and bought it anyway.

Can't be more than a few inches bigger than the 1. Very small.

I always thought the one series looked disproportionate, but that looks really good.

Damn, I should of guessed by the wheels.

Side note: WHY DID YOU CALL ME "Tiger"?! That has to be the biggest insult on Oppo right now.

In terms of size, it seems to me it's around the same as the E36/E46. I think that's perfect- the current 3 is huge.

I had to clean myself up afterwards.

It was the auto? How much was it, if I may ask?

Yeah that sounds about right, next to the 4 Series this car is tiny.

It was the auto (holy shit that ZF is great!) and it was $47,100 I believe. I was honestly shocked they hadn't sold it yet.

This still hasn't been made into a Tiger'd gif?

That's impressive. If you go to "build" the M235i on BMWs website it starts you out at $46,025

It is only a matter of time.
