I'd be interested in a small non-lux 4dr hatch from BMW once the gorf gets sold. The idea is cheap fun, a v8 manuel wagon in orange costs north of 60k. There is a difference.
You want this Tarsand - http://www.thedrive.com/news/23428/2019 ... ce-package :D :D :D

What’s the difference between that and a golf? Serious question ...
Even bigger wheels, riding high for that penis compensation factor

Look everyone we know who ever owned the 318 liked it. These pseudo fast grocery getters for 50k aint the same thing. Why doesn't bmw do a stripped down GTI competitor with RWD/AWD options? Is there really no market? The X1 sells, but i guess its a 'ute so that makes it desirable. Guess it's the world we live in nowadays. This is why old dudes never chop off their mullets or start listening to Justin Beiber. :gag:

Here I see alot of dude's in the X1 and X2 with the frau's in the Golf or the Volvo or the sedan of some type as well. I see as many women in 911's as men. Im not into the its a wife/chick car insecurity. Its a vehicle, if you like it, drive it. Life is short drive what YOU like irrespective of a judgement about a male or female type as owner.

I like quick awd hatchbacks for affordable prices. The more sporty the better, too bad bmw doesn't enter that market because I think they'd be good at it.

There are other manufacturers successfully selling hot hatches for a reason. It's not just me who's buying them.

Then you buy the X1 and I'll get something from another manufacturer besides BMW. Too bad, because The brand doesn't suck entirely.

Because you obviously see no flaws with the X1? It's no M3 and its no Golf R :bruh:

You're dancing around the point, I saif the 318ti was a cool car and I think thry could do a sporty no frills 2019 version of a car like that with R/AWD and I'd think it would sell. I also think it would bring back some lost credibility, especially the ultimate driving machine which it once comfortably owned. I gotta spend twenty minutes over two days defending that opinion to you guys telling me that the X1 is basically the same thing. :sissyfight:

Plenty of flaws with any vehicle you chose.
You have to make compromises somewhere. Cheap, fun and nice brand won’t happen.

The GTi is the closest to that listed above = Cheap(considering avg transaction price), fun and not the worst brand. Civic and or Veloster is about all there is to choose from in the US it appears. There might be something else but FoST is being killed off so thats not an option either..

Thank you for that poverty interlude. We went from haggling with about 911 prices and killing ourselves because some dude forecasted lower iphone sales to a question by the common man. For god's sakes man, yes, get center caps!
