 I dont know what you expected but the gearboxes is precise with a nice resistence when changing gear. Its not exact and short shifting like a real sportcar gearbox but the gearboxes in bmw are well-known to be in the top in their "ordinary" cars compared to otehr german carmakers, (hence MB and Audi). Then again you claimed the interior materials is better in 3-series than 1-serie when many reviews complain on the interior in 1er. I know bmw has listen to the critics so the interiors has been improved in facelifted 1er. Maybe you like to go your own way, against others opinions

Like I said, the 5-speed wasn't bad at all, but it didn't feel like the transmission described in most BMW reviews.

Regarding the interior, I do feel that the 1-Series interior is a little better built. And I also think the 3-Series interior looks good with the proper materials and colors. Overall though, I just feel that the 1-Series interior feels better built overall. And I was always a person who stated his opinion. Peer pressure cannot change my mind.

| Re: ***Testdrove a BMW 118i 5-speed*** Nice review Wimmer, can't wait to see the 1er of your own. And yes, don't think I'm a pervert for one second, but I think your sis is hot.

| Re: ***Testdrove a BMW 118i 5-speed*** Thanks Mirage and Bmer. She might actually work for NATO. Interestingly enough she was never interested in modelling.

| Re: ***Testdrove a BMW 118i 5-speed*** Thanks for the great review Christian, as always, detailed and informative. Even though many of the things you say may be "subjective," I tend to trust your comments and conclusions. Nice pics, wish we could have had more and its great that you're doing cars other than MB now.
