2008 BMW 1-Series Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 2dr Convertible 230-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD
Either young children for longer drives or most adults for trips below 30-40 miles each way. Just a "small car" (though with more rear-room that Lexus 250-350 4-door series!). see full BMW 1-Series review
2008 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed manual RWD
Impractical for adults for anything but short runs see full BMW 1-Series review
