Time to defend ourselves on autoblog again

Autoblog posted about the passenger ride along in Spain and as usual the flock of autoblog have defended. Time to mount a defense.

Those commenters are morons... no defense neccessary. Not getting laid and sitting at home in their parents' basements is plenty.

On topic - I really really really hope ///M does something nice for us on the dash and cluster of this car, like maybe covering it in suede or carbon leather. I absolutely HATE the one in my 135i. I feel like I'm in an early 90's Corolla. I don't care if it adds 5-10 lbs.

Speak for yourself, roundel. I prefer the look of the 1 over a 3, or a mustang for that matter.

Regular 1er is quirky but I like it.

1M will be awesome.

I like it as well but it's far from the prev gen M3's phenomenal, understated macho look. Can't imagine the 1M keeping 135i looks like I've seen so far. That's just an utter joke.

I love the quirky look of the 1 series. Don't care if it's ugly...it's a design that somebody took a chance with. It's daring and for the most part looks great

Personal choice, Roundel.

The look of the 1er, imo, shits all over most other daily drivers anywhere.

Sometimes the fastest way between 2 points is not a straight line.

In terms of looks:

last gen M3 > current gen M3 > 1 series > 3 series > everything else they make.

but, that's just me.

I actually like the look of the 1 series. It looks a lot better irl than in the pics (I think it's the whole flame surfacing, convex/concave thing).

My favorite cars exterior-wise in the BMW line up is the 1 series, the Z4 and the E92. The rest are okay, a bit plain looking.

I agree. The 3 series is nice and elegant but its too bland for my specific tastes.

Hell, most auto journalists are probably old men who long for the "good old days" and can't accept new design changes.
