@zedwheels Brian the one series is quite a machine! I had one as a company car and drove it on the Transfagarashan (in a beautiful morning and a horrible cryse of time); it was an Euro4 (i think...) , manual, 140HP. You have huge space for front seats, it's very stable and rigid, but very sharp; much more than the z3. You can drove it almost sliding the back and still can be under controll. But for the back passengers is a torture for knees and kidnees... On the snow is pulling like a train if you have 4 passengers, without snow chains. A little car which offers much fun and full efficient safety features. The Euro5 doesn't have the same guts though...
