What is wrong here? (YES FWD BMWs!!)

KrisNL · 12-20-2010, 07:13 AM

Who can tell me what is not right with this BMW?

rori zahr · 12-20-2010, 07:22 AM

chains on front wheels!

BMWZ4 · 12-20-2010, 07:25 AM

Ha! Obviously doesn't know his car is RWD!!

Too funny

rori zahr · 12-20-2010, 07:29 AM

hard to believe

Silver-Bolt · 12-20-2010, 08:46 AM

It's possible that it is AWD and the chains up front are for steering and braking.

Mr. ///M3 RD · 12-20-2010, 10:02 AM

Must be his first car and he has no mechanical knowhow whatsoever LOL poor fellow

rori zahr · 12-20-2010, 10:15 AM

AWD sound plausible

BMWZ4 · 12-20-2010, 10:20 AM

Good point silver-bolt, hadn't considered the AWD angle.

.??. E90 AWD??? Emmm... Poor guy, I just wonder what is it he is trying to achieve....

Memphis1 · 12-20-2010, 10:48 AM

That looks like a 128i, those are not awd. The guy is just a schmuck

Land_Shark · 12-20-2010, 11:05 AM

An E87.. Yes correct.. What was I thinking when i said E90...

Silver-Bolt · 12-20-2010, 11:55 AM

It's a 4-door sedan. Do they make a 1-series 4-door?

The earth seems to be severely tilted to the right on its axis.

I don't recall when that happened. Perhaps I was really drunk at the time.

According to the link, BMW will be coming out w/ FWD in a few years...any idea what model(s)?

That would be cool and would make it a seriously 100% all-season roadster.

It's a 4-door hatch. Much nicer that the coupe that we get over here.

flpnout · 12-21-2010, 10:55 PM

I had the 118d version of that 1 series 4 door hatchback as my Sixth Rental car in Germany. Gas was impressive. Not a bad little car. I would probably get one as my city car if they had them in the US. It seems to have a lot of power for a 4 banger. I was able to to take up to 225km on the autobahn.

I ended up changing it for for a Ford wagon with snow tires when it started snowing as I started sliding all over the place in the 1 Series car. Scary when there is snow on the ground. Of course I did not grow up driving in the snow.

this is the one.

flpnout · 12-21-2010, 11:20 PM

Here is a pic of my rental with my colleague scraping ice waiting for me to get in the driver side as neither one of us wanted to drive in the snow....we ended up flipping a coin and I lost.
