Hello everyone! Been a while since I've posted here. Reason being is I sold the Jazz and got myself a BMW for a daily until I gather enough cash for a Civic!

Anyways, here are some photos:













A different driving experience compared to the Jazz. Although the BMW is so much nicer to drive being RWD and 50/50 weight distribution, I do miss how revvy the engine in the Jazz is!

C&C welcome :)
 
Cool wee cars, always preferred the coupe 1 series however. The 1M is lovely, but i guess the coupe isnt practical for everyone. Looks nice and tidy anyways :)
 
Nice one! Always wondered what the 1.6i engine was like in these, pretty bland I take it?

I totally agree with you, I was looking for a coupe originally but it didn't fit in my budget so settled with the hatch :)

This is the newer 1.6 engine with more power (122hp). But yeah it is quite bland, wanted a 118i but insurance was too much! And didn't want a diesel as well (turbo diesel btw)

Thanks guys :)

Yes, I would be in the same boat. Do not like diesel cars and don't plan on owning one out of choice, as controversial as that statement may be.

Always had a soft spot for the 1's! Good luck with it.

Thanks mate :) Don't have much plans for it, only picking up cheap second hand parts when I find them. My main plan is still to save up for a proper vtec :)
