l drive a 525 and l bet l wouldnt enjoy driving a 1 seies
if you drove fast in one it would feel like you were going to tip over just like being in a mitsubishi colt when you go around corners

l bet you would too.. the 1 series is so much more fun to drive than the Big and underpowered 525. Go test drive a 1 series with the twin turbo 6.

So.go down to a BMW dealership and test drive one.

How hard is that?

You would like to drive one in a skinny minute, but if you drive more than that, stick with your 525, although that is a lot of driving, it would be better to drive 925, what you do with the rest of your time would be enjoyable unless you are stuck on the road, in which case you should get off that road or you may get hit by 1 seies which is a great music CD and not a bad guitar .

bet its amazing, 300hp in a car thats about the size of a civic!!!!

Do not touch anything less than the SE 120i

well, they are the Ultimate Driving Machines.

The BMW 1 series is pretty awful, the ride is too harsh, the interior is too tacky, and the rear seats are too small.

However the 135i coupe is a fantastic little car, and it is even economical! l have to say l do like that one.

Tip, if you are going for a 5 series, go for a diesel. Preferably a 530d or a 535d, but in all honesty they are all good. The petrol ones are too thirsty and the diesel ones can match them as far as performance goes.

WOW. there sure r some idiots that commented on ur question. lol

l can guarantee that the 1-series (either the 128i or the 135i) will be quicker, & more fun to drive than ur 525i. What makes u think that the 1-series would tip over? It is not an SUV. It is a small coupe with 18 inch (135i) wheels & tires that would grip the road!

l am sure u would appreicate the handling of the 1-series. It could be argued that the 1-series is not very pretty though.

do not even compare 5 to 1

All BMW is are great to drive. They corner like they're on rails (although the M Sport models are better).

BMW is are excellent around bends, driving a 1 Series around a race track will beat a slightly more powerful car because the BMW can go around the bends faster.

Drive one and remember l told you,

The 525 is WAY too big for it is crappy engine, which makes it almost painfully slow for a beemer, so do not base ur opinions on BMW is on that shameful piece of BMW is history. But the 1-Series is amazing! The 135i has a 300 HP Turbocharged V6 & it is a really small car, so it is EXTREMELY fast & fun to drive. The 128i is slightly slower but it is not that big of a difference, since both cars r pretty small both engines deliver pretty well. And that comment about the rear seats being small, if you're going to buy a BMW 1 series, u r obviously not going to have many people in the back seats, l honestly think the Mini Cooper Convertible has more leg room, & if you're sat in one of those you'd know exactly what l was talking about (if not, it is really small). But yea, the 1 Series is a great car & l think u should just go & test drive one & u will see right away!
