I just returned today a 120i which I had for the weekend - with 17" run-flat tires. The ride was excellent, and early reports from the UK suggest that the E90 is much the same - they've tuned the suspension to deal with the stiff tires. On a related note, my brother was riding on the back seat of the 1 Series yesterday and commented that it feels more spacious than the rear of my E36. It also looks absolutely stunning in person. So there you are. All the models have just shifted up, the 1 filling the gap left by the 3. Regards, Pavel PS. The handling of the 1 is amazing. Hope you guys get it in the US. I'd definitely consider buying a 6-cylinder derivative when they appear.

Yes, a 130t(turbo) would be nice putting out about 350 HP through a 3.15 LSD. -- Jamie Howton 2000 M5 1995 M3 Hampshire, IL ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Apr 2005 17:49:17 -0400 From: "Rob Levinson * UUC Motorwerks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: new e90 3 series Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> That's basically par for the course, always has been.

The Civic of today is larger than the Accord of a few years back, the latest Accord has more leg room my E39 and probably more hip and shoulder room too. This is true of the Altima/Maxima and probably most every other set of sedan siblings. Everything in the sedan segment seem to be moving up the size ladder with each new generation.

Yes, and size and weight are surely a product of safety regulations along with consumer demands. You want a new car that is small and less safe, go get a Lotus Elise.

All the M cars are real (the 635csi is not a real M car). The 2002 is a real BMW, though inexplicably, so are the L6 and L7. Furthermore, "minus" cars have been part of the lineup for quite a while as well, though there have been relatively few models. The 2002tii comes to mind -- known internally as the 2002 minus.
