Don't forget all the tips for ordering and pricing. Since I don't have mine yet, that's been the only practical advice I can test. I'm thinking I may have to spend a few days downloading or printing all the great info about all the other features I expect to want to remember. Someone ought to develop a database. The 1 series wiki.

-How good CA is

-The installation guide with pictures of the BMW performance pedals

-How good the windscreen was

-VERY early on I got advice here from a guy that had sat in a 1. My biggest fear was that there was not enough headroom as I am 6'3". He went out of his way to take pictures and show me that it had enough headroom and that is the single reason why I decided to not buy a different car and wait for the 1.

This site is great for good info. I am surprised how good it really is. And not many a$$holes.

Unlike a "One BMW site to fit all" *cough Bimmerforums cough*, most everyone here owns a 1, has a 1 on order or is looking to buy a 1. We all have the same goal...to enjoy all the love that is the 1. :w00t:
