“stick-shift snob” ;)
The 135i may not be a MINI, but it’s one of the most talked about cars of the moment on MotoringFile and our sister publication BimmerFile just wrapped up a full week’s worth of driving it. A highly recommended read if you’re at all interested in the smallest of BMWs and (dare we say it) the most MINI like.
Hey Ian…. Come up with your own “cliches” ;)
I just wish the 1 series looked as good as a MINI
I saw a convertible 1-series yesterday (All black) nice looking car. But unfortunately, with soaring gas prices (A economist projection was released today predicting $7/Gal gas prices for the US in 2 years), anything 6-cylinders (or more) is a very hard sell these days. Thanks but no thanks. I’ll stick with my MINIs for the long term future.
I think the coupe is a bit awkward looking, but the 1er 5-door looks quite good. So far not coming to the states, though.

HTML Formatting Tips
MotoringFile also allows use of Markdown formatting in the comment section. This accomplishes the same formatting as HTML but is typically easy to use.
