please use a propiate(spl?) title for the thread please...because one 2002 was really doing a rebring back to life job by BMW themselves or somehting like that..

that looks okay, but i wont like it, the 1 series just dont suit the coupe thing, just like the 5 series, sedans, 6 series coupes, so i think if the 1 was behind the 3 which was all sorts of stuff, the 1 series wouldnt be a coupe or sedan, it would not, never look good like that..hope it could grow on me later

Probably only high spec models of these are going to be bearable, some of the 1's I see around here with the shoddy hubcaps and the plastic bumpers look hideous; only high spec ones look quite good, same probably goes for this model aswell.

i dont like it, doesnt have the hatchback's "coolness" .. looks like this will settle with only the 2.0 engine .. ?

The rear-end of a 1 series coupé will look really messed up. Only the cool hatcbackness of the current 1 series saves the tail lights from looking like something from a cheap Kia.
It's gonna be alright if they make cabriolet though. It will be like a Eos that looks ugly but handles great.

Wow, maybe I'm just a coupe fan, but I've always liked the Jetta (Bora) coupe over the Golf. And I coudn't imagine wanting M3, or any BMW in a 3 or 5 door hatchback. Imagine the 2002 in a Hatchback!:-&

I would take it with the 3.0 that is the standard in the 135i with 256hp or the 3.0 TT with 302hp.

BMW did a version of the 02 as a hatchback. Its was called 1602 Touring which was never officially imported to the states.

it does look quite ugly...it really is ugly, looks like some sort of old Maserati cars on the rear, though i think that the coupe looks even more comfortable than the hatchback, the coupe looks like that it has more space in the rear, and in the boot

This thing looks simply like a plastic overload. I'm sure it's built well, although don't you think they should use a wider range of materials? Lol. Overall it looks OK, although I have to admit the rear end it quite fugly. It needs a bit of work.

It needs a bit of work.Funny... with all of the plastic disguise, I can't really tell what it looks like... or maybe it will go on the market looking exactly like these pics. Then i agree, it does look like a plastic overload.

Well I know what the hatchback 1 series looks like, and with hte huge bumpers and other body peices it looks like a toy am infant would play with lol. I don't know why, it just looks cheap.

The 2002 reborn...except it doesn't look anywhere near so nice. In fact, it's quite awful.
