BMW pwns at confusing the hell out of it's customers. Lieutenant Colonel. I'm not sure I've ever dared to go mph, except for maybe once in a fit of stupidity when was 21 or so Right around 85 and I start getting very concerned for my insurance premiums:biggrin:. Hmmm - I'm glad I brought it up, because I had heard it both ways as well. I really don't want to order the sports package I'll be removing the front seats and steering wheel anyway , but I will need the mph speed limiter.
I guess the shadow line trim will look better than the chrome look as well. On the other hand, I guess I wouldn't have that much trouble unloading the manual sport seats and steering wheel. Without the speed limiter in place, what do you guys suppose the top speed on the i would be? Dear Joe, unfortunately, our service technicians were unable to reproduce the problem that you mentioned.
Therefore, we will be unable to perform any work that you claim is necessary. We apologize for the inconvenience. Somewhere around mph would be my guess - the 1er is a pretty upright car with a higher CD than the 3er coupe, IIRC. I suspect that it'll run out of steam well before I was able to get a i up to MPH in fourth gear at VIR with a little more to go before serious braking was needed, so with two gears to go and the right stretch I bet could be possible, but hugo is right, I think the i will have more drag at high speed than the i.
Enlisted Member. Remember folks, BMW's have some of the most delusional speedometers this side of a sport bike. That said Originally Posted by TGrits Originally Posted by Templedogg. The MPH speed is due to all season tires that are standard on the i and optional on the i. The i comes standard with performance tires see pg 11 of the brochure. That's why pg 14 of the brochures states MPH for the i. Originally Posted by joelk. All times are GMT The time now is PM.

The seven-speed double-clutch gearbox shifts gears without the slightest interruption of power and torque and offers the driver the choice of either automatic transmission or a manual gearshift. The fast and smooth shift of gears allows unusually harmonious acceleration and helps to reduce both fuel consumption and emissions.
The close, sporting increments of the seven gears ensure that the optimum transmission ratio is always available in all situations.
A combination of dry sump and injection lubrication serves to further optimise the efficiency of the engine through a supreme level of oil supply. Last but not least, the double-clutch gearbox is controlled with utmost convenience either through the newly designed gear selector lever or by gearshift paddles on the steering wheel.
The new six-cylinder with BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology and the seven-speed double-clutch gearbox bring out the unique character of these top performers in the compact segment even more and in greater style than ever before. And at the same time the driving experience conveyed by both models boasts the agility typical of a BMW 1 Series. Superior drivetrain technology and a concept unique in this class with rear-wheel drive, the passenger cell moved far to the back, and almost ideal distribution of axle load, offer the optimum combination for unique driving pleasure.
Other standard features include DSC Dynamic Stability Control with an individualised set-up, an electronically masterminded locking function on the differential, as well as model-specific control maps for Servotronic power steering and the gas pedal, again underlining the sporting character of both models.
Cool ad hot, only BMW can make it happen. The convertible looks very cool, and the coupe really looks hot. Both the convertible and coupe looks good together in the garage. Its an envy to the neighborhood. What I really like about the convertible is that it has a larger leg space for the back passengers. I remember how other convertibles from different manufacturers promote this sort of cars and almost all of those that I tried had some issues with the doecj.
Press release The by far most sporting and dynamic models in the compact segment are now increasing their leadership in terms of driving dynamics and efficiency. Alina Moore. Alina Joined the Topspeed. Read full bio. What do you think? Car Finder:. BMW 1 Series. Active filters:.
