A price hike would be pretty nasty, I'd suggest it's at the top of the bracket as is for the competition (S3, STI, Evo etc)

One of my colleagues raised his eyebrows to me yesterday when he heard about my new car. "A 1 Series??" he asked with raised eyebrows and a bit of a smirk. I may leave a copy of this on his desk....

Great review.

Making it even harder for me, knowing my car is at the dealers waiting for me to pick it up, but I can't!!?!!

Love the way he started then changed his POV during the article.

Perception to reality!

Four months wait, if you are lucky!

You think that's bad. Mine was ready to pick up 1 day after I went to Europe for 3 weeks holiday. By Day 3 of the holiday my gf banned me from talking about the car... When I finally got back home it was less than two hours from clearing customs to walking into the dealer to pick up the keys

harpoon · 08-29-2008, 07:18 AM

Nice cure for jetlag !

That's well done! I'm going for the taxi from the airport to the dealership route myself
