BMW 120i hatchback spotted in California

Apparently, the photos were taken on a highway between Orange County and San Diego. The car has a Mexico plate.

Nice pics Irv.
I've also heard that there's a heavy camo 1-er cabrio driving around LA right now.

I see 1-series hatchbacks down here in SD from time to time and they definately don't look as good as the coupe.

The hatchback looks good and yeah i'd even drive one but not over a coupe though. I prefer a coupe over the hatch. But I do like th hatch, especially the two door hatch.

I've seen a few 1 hatchbacks here in the DC area over the last year. They've all had diplomat tags. You get to see various other euro cars around here that aren't offered in the US because diplomats bring them over.

yeah, im not a big fan of a hatch in general, although this bmw has given me the only interest in a hatch, still not gonna get it. My aim is for the 135i Coupe soon. Pay off a loan that i have right now, and start saving up.
