Had the opportunity to test drive one the other day was the 8 speed auto .

Plus points

Nice place to be sat high quality interior silky smooth engine no flat spots etc
Negative points

Didn't feel that fast ( speedo said I was) no doubt I had foot down but maybe a bit too refined.

Conclusion

I don't think its any more fun then the ep3 the only question is it worth 30k .

If your not chasing bhp figures and happy enough with the EPs interior then I'd pass

I'm calling troll on his review.

It feels every bit as quick as it is because it is quick.

It's an epic car. Can't believe he's compared it to an EP3 lol!

I quite like em, very cheap too compared to competitors too

[NyseriA]

Not sure I'd call a 135i "very cheap" but it's well placed

[J@mes]

Cheap and not quick.... I must've clicked the wrong thread

[Josh1921]

End of the day it doesn't have the ethos of an ep3 and that's what matters.

Well the 1 series wins in the ugly race although the ep is not far behind.

[Andy-type r]

I didn't actually realise a standard ep3 was as slow as it is until getting back in one the other day.

[smartie]

Needs manual ethos. Auto is for sales reps.

[J]

Thats all that needs to be said.

[steve83]

Old shape one series though
