I couldn't see driving a car any smaller then a 335i! I like the design of the 135i but not for someone 6'2 like myself! I doubt I'll see but a handful of men (high school boy's not included) driving them in the US.

I've been driving cars in same size as BMW 1-series for whole my life. 3-series is the biggest size I would buy. I dont need cars that are bigger than the 3-series unless I have a family.
So either 1-series or 3-series, smaller or larger cars I dont need.

Remember the first pics of the 135i coupe when if was not yet officially show with Hans Stuck stepping out of the car on the Ring??? That's a big guy (at least 6'2 I think)...

What I am trying to say is that the 135i is no Z4 coupe. It's a small car, sure, but there is quite a bit of room in an 1er when you're driving and there's noone sitting behind you...

I dont know centimeters this is: 6'2?
Im 184 cm tall I fit good in the front seat in a 1-series.

Bingo Just_Me, I have a wife and a 6 week old son, so you can see how the 1-Series wouldn't be practical right? I think you missed my point though, I could be wrong, I haven't seen the 1-Series IRL yet. I was only stating my opinion from what I see in my enviroment (New Jersey, New York, Philly PA) that's all.

I also do not see the 1 series as a practical family car. Even my 3er is a tight fit when I have the in-laws.
I see most of the 1er target buyers as the singles and young crowd especially here in the US.

yes Im single so a 1er works perfect for me but I can still give others a ride once and a while. My parents have two cars and as a second car the 1er is perfect.

So basically 1er is good for singles and couples and its also good for those who want a second car.

I forgot that as well- thanks.
Yes, there will be the percentage of adults that want a 1er as a second car.

I would like to add that I think Europeans are more open for smaller cars than americans are. I also think its easier to sell a smaller car here than in US.
