1 Series 1 series: 3dr vs 5dr vs coupe

[Giannis]

So now that there are 3 versions of the 1er availiable which one would your choise be and why?

Just for comparison...
3dr:


5dr:


coupe:

 

[EnI]

Coupe ... Hands down.

Then 3dr, and in the end 5dr.

To me hatch has too much "gf's / wife's car" image.

 

[LaArtist]

2 door..cause it looks the best..and is the most useable..

5 door.. is no need..and looks worse than the 2 door..cause the rear seat of the 1er is nothing to brag about..so they can more or less drop the doors..

Coupe.. well i wont say why.. even though i was asked..
but i dont want to get torched like last time..

 

[Giannis]

My choise would still be the 5 door model.

The coupe version is nicely done, a very good looking car, but it is still small. I know that an 135i would be a great car to drive, but as far as i am concerned, with these dimensions the hatch looks much more better. In the 3dr vs 5dr, both versions have the same space, but i would pick the 5dr since it looks better in my eyes.

 

[Centurion]

The 5 door seem to be the best value for me. The 3 door is hotter but I prefer having 5 door hatches and if I am to buy a 3 door car it should be a coupe. The coupe looks great but comes at a price which allow me to choose much sportier cars like a Mazda MX-5 or a BMW Z4.

Further more the 5 door looks good.

I choose the coupe because I'm not a big fan of hatchbacks.

 

[siko]

2dr, then 3 dr, then 5dr...

 

[Bruce]

5dr for myself. Not only because I prefer it's exterior styling over the other two, but because It adds what I believe to be an advantage in terms of practicality.

 

[Bartek S.]

Coupe...

 

[Zafiro]

My vote is obvious

 

[NarutoRamen]

There is no competition here....Long live the Coupe!

 

[Nikos120i]

I am voting for the 3dr.

I need to clear up, however, that my vote is not biased by the fact that I have ordered the 3dr. Considering that fact that I am comparing the non-Mpack 1er Coupe with the non M-Pack 1er 3dr...I like the 3dr better. I like hatches in general...and if I was going to spend that much money for the 1er Coupe...I'd much rather buy the 3er Coupe which is just gorgeous.

So my vote goes for the 3dr 1er!

 

[Yperion]

I don't like the 1 series coupe mainly because of the size and proportions (too small for a coupe?).

I will vote the 5 door.

 

[NarutoRamen]

(too small for a coupe?).

No, it's fine for a coupe because after all it only has 2 doors for such a small car. Now 5doors become overkill in such a small car. That IMO is wrong proportions.

 

[EnI]

I don't like the 1 series coupe mainly because of the size and proportions (too small for a coupe?)

Length

1er coupe: 4,360mm

Audi TT: 4,178mm (= -182mm)
Audi Coupe B3 type 89: 4,401mm (= +41mm)

BMW E30 3er coupe: 4,450mm (= +90mm)
BMW E21 3er: 4,220mm (= -140mm)

 

[ateekt]

"Coupe" for me please, some (part) of everything ...!

 

[bimmerdreng]

its around the size a e30, but that car was small so.. but i would go for the coupe or 3 door. They should had maked the one series just a bit bigger, like an e36 than it was more usefull.

 

[Maximus Decimus]

Coupe based solely on personal preference. With the same motor and suspension setup, the difference in feel will likely be transparent to the average driver, which I am. Probably below average actually.

 

[CorpusCallosum]

Couple please

THat 3dr looks awesome in white but

 

[klier]

The coupe looks great but comes at a price which allow me to choose much sportier cars like a Mazda MX-5 or a BMW Z4.

Sorry but....




Mazda MX 5 being sportier than a BMW 135i M sport???
Lighter perhaps.....but that is it! The brakes of the 135i alone probably are bigger that the entire rim of the MX-5, Miata

Uhm, I vote the coupe, since it has become my favorite non M BMW of all time already.
