Looks become secondary when you drive the 1-series. Admittedly, not my favorite BMW design, but power/performance is outstanding.
BMW’s biggest problem is still the HPFP on twin turbos. It’s inexcusable that they allow that problem to go on and on without a fix.

In excusable but not unexpected, especially from BMWNA.
How long did they drag ass on the F01 software updates, and that was for their “flagship” car...

This is my favorite for style and performance... bar none...

I have three e28's (M5, 535is, 533i) and one of these e30s ("the ugly car") which I think looks terrible, but runs like a real race car...

I don't know why they just couldn't keep that old 4 cylinder engine in production, it is a rocket...

BMWs biggest problem is still the HPFP on twin turbos.And translates to what in English.
As an aside... I'm leary of turbos. I like to keep a good car for many years and it seems to me that turbos can be troublesome, esp. seals.

Maybe after your brain stops aching from whacking your head on the roof edge when getting in and out. What were they thinking??
