Talk:BMW 1 Series (E87)

message: There have been no press releases by BMW stating that the car would be coming to the US.  There are only rumors at this time.  Please wait until an official press release to include that information in this article.

thread_title:  US Release 

message: The article claims BMW have affirmed the return of the M1 name (and an associated model), but the linked citation is only a particular motoring magazine's conjecture with no apparent gravitas from BMW. Weasley one 21:21, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  M1 

message: I have no Wikipedia experience to speak of, so I figure it's better to ask here rather than edit the article. Numerous publications have anticipated far better performance from the 306hp 135i than is reported in this article. BMW is notoriously over-conservative in their published numbers, but even simple logic should suggest a lighter 135i with the same drivetrain will outperform a 335i coupe. Is it appropriate to comment on both the expected higher performance, as well as the fact that this will make the 135i an extremely attractive (even unparalleled) purchase option to buyers who want a mixture of performance and a luxurious name? For example: the 135i will very likely offer strait-line performance very close to that of an Evo X, at a roughly equal price, which also puts it at a higher performance point and lower cost-of-entry than its likely competitor: the Infiniti G37 Coupe.

:As long as you adhere to Wikipedia's overarching principle of maintaining neutral point of view, I think this is an appropriate edit.  As Wikipedians are fond of say, be bold and make edits that you think will improve the quality of the article.  I think it may be too far to bring in the latter comparisons that the 135i may be superior to cars of other manufacturers, it would be fine to state something mentioning BMW's generally conservative estimates and the 135i ought to be faster than it's identically-engined but heavier 335i brethren.  --dinomite 15:11, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Expected Performance 

message: Why is the primary picture in the top left a modified car... Shouldn't it be a stock car (no front aerodynamics, no silly aftermarket wheels, etc).. Rootstyle 17:04, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Tho I don't think those wheels are silly (I like BBS rims), I agree with you and thus I am going to replace the picture.--BSI 19:55, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  picture of modified car 

message: This article is highly focused on the European hatchback, and not the US styled coupe, I believe a new article is in order.  Hi, check out the new US Version article here  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_1_Series_%28US_Version%29  --Laxplayer630 20:27, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: But the coupe (and convertible) is going to be sold in Europe too, no? --Vossanova o< 13:58, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes it will be.  I have no idea why we need a new article for the 1 series.QwazywabbitMsg me 14:36, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Definitely no need to for a separate article for two cars with the same name that are mechanically identical.  Just make a new section for the coupe. --Daniel J. Leivick 19:16, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  New Article For US Version 

message: There has been much chatter online about the pricing of the 1 series. In the US its $34,000 to start (barely priced lower than a 3 series when well equipped), but that means it should be roughly 17,000 British Pounds. Yet, in Britian, its priced in the 30s again! Considering they are all built in Germany, it makes no sense than the 1 series be priced so low in the US, and so expensive in Britian.
Should we mention this?

replies: text: In my experience vehicle prices in the UK are often much higher then in the US.  In general the price of a vehicle in the UK in British Pounds is usually equal to the price of the same vehicle in the US in dollars.  For example the Nissan 350Z costs about 25k Pounds in the UK and cost about 27K dollars in the US.  I don't really have any idea why this is, but in anycase we would need to source the fact that this is actually a controversy before we mention it. --Daniel J.

replies: text: The section you refer to points out that it is a rumour, but does not accept it as fact. On the contrary, there is a citation for a denial from BMW. The section itself is informative, and may in fact be used to dispel such a myth. Ng.j (talk) 07:13, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
