If not for the big SUVs in the background, you would think that the picture was taken in Europe. I wonder what country those plates came from?

I've a seen a couple in San Diego, but they've had baja or mexico plates. Sadly, I think they look like cheap and look more like a mazada. I'm glad they don't sell them here.

Pretty sure it is not possible for a while as we are going to have 1 series COUPE. Remember the U.S. did not get the hatch because it would conflict with the Mini Coopers. So unless the new 1 series hatch is significantly different than the Mini Cooper, we might never have it in the states.

last time when i saw a one series at San Diego was back in 3 years ago, in front of Costa Verde (apartment at La Jolla)

Was it driven by a brunette girl? She was hot

Can't you import one from mexico if you want one?

nine4surfah · 01-24-2008, 11:35 AM

There's a black one with "Baja" license plates that spotted frequently in Eastlake as well.

orientblue3 · 01-24-2008, 11:53 AM

I saw one of these in Dallas a month or two ago. Just forgot to post about it.

astris · 01-24-2008, 02:15 PM

I saw one about a month ago in El Cajon. I parked next to it. My guess is that they were either on their way to or coming back from Viejas.

After seeing it up close parked, I 100% convinced it's just as ugly as I originally thought. So tiny too inside and out. My M3 looked like it dwarfed the little 120i.

The one I saw had Front BC plates... or maybe Sonora, can't remember.

Then you have to register it and pass all the emissions
