Anyway, I was stuck in traffic next to a 128 today. It was driven by a really hot brunette (not that it matters - I was just messing with you), and it was nice. It just reminds me too much of the Merc C230 Kompressor hatch (not in looks, just overall impression of the car - the 135i is certainly more appealing due to the power). Now that car was publicly marketted towards young urban professional women. There were press releases that said it. Whenever i saw a dude driving one i just laughed. But at the same time, when I see a J-Wow look-alike with fake tan, fake boobs, fake nails, etc rockin a denali with 22's or a Hummer (Jersey trash - happens all the time) it's pretty sweet IMO.

I also was reading that the 1 series got complaints about there not being enough legroom on the driver's side (more apropos to manual than auto models since you have to be moving your entire legs not just feet). Have you found that to be the case? I played D1 football and I can just fit into my Z in a race driving position.
I'm not exactly a D1 athlete, but I'm about 5'10 or 11 and I can put the seat far enough back to where I can almost not even reach the pedals. I don't have an abnormally long torso or anything either...inseam is like 32. The back seats are actually pretty comfortable too. I wouldn't sit back there for a road trip by any means...but they are actually usable around town unlike the Mustangs. It's a "small" car in that sense...but that's kind of what I like about it. The inside is not cramped in anyway, I have more headroom than the Z, and it's really easy to park in tight spots if need be. Supposedly the inside is basically the same size as the previous generation M3. Plus I can scare 3 people now instead of just 1.
