hmm...freaking small car. what you guys think.
the 1er is only 171.8 in length. that is extremely tiny for a coupe. i think its one of the smallest coupes around. In the pictures it dont look that small but dam. the 350z is 169.8 in length, and its only a two seater. and its smaller than a civic si or a rsx s.
am i missing something or what. what is you guys's opinion about this. bmw coupe being this small doest seem right. |

Also consider:
BMW 135i: (Length × Width × Height in) 171.7 × 68.8 × 55.4 Porsche Cayman S: (Length × Width × Height in) 172.1 × 70.9 × 51.4 Indeed, the 135i is a very small car. :roundel:

Also, for reference, RSX-S: 172.2 X 67.9 X 54.7 So on second thought, it's not too much smaller than my car. :frown: |

+another.
i can't understand people complaining about this car being too small. (not saying OP is necessarily complaining). i mean sheesh you have a 3, 5, 6 AND 7 to choose from if you feel that way. why complain? it's basically the size of an E30 which is about damn near perfect for me. |

http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=678 it appears to be 76 inches from mirror to mirror ... just depends on where you measure from. where did your E30 width start and end at? |

Located it on line. I honestly do not know. I do have an E30 M3 brochure around. I will have to locate it with my M3 records. |

I kinda like this car's size - wouldn't want it any bigger - the only thing that'll occupy the back seat is grandkids and cameras - and if either of them complain . . . ; -)
I think my Miata is plenty big enough - my ideal size car is a Lotus 7. I let the wife get the large saloon. I'll stick to the 'right-size' ones. |

The size is exactly what most of us are looking for on here.
The E90/E92 is getting a bit too large for my personal taste. My current E46 is about as big as I'd want a coupe to be and the 135i is just a tad smaller in overall dimensions so it shouldn't be too much of a difference to switch over.
