The engines make a nice noise, but they have zero torque. I know it's not all about going fast but when a 2.0 diesel famiily car will drop this on the line it's not a good look. They made so many of them, they're not hugely dynamic to drive, the manual box isn't particularly nice.
They were so cheap for so long and that's what their appeal was. A 3.0 straight six that could be had for £1000. Absolutely no way would you be prepared to pay £5-10k for one.
I mean I never really understood the compact as the 1 series was being released, maybe they were testing the market as they are on a bit of a cross over.
I do think in time that what will possibly make them desirable.... small car big engine, manual always going to more desirable in the long run

Thats a pretty nice colour on that one! Ive got titan silver on mine and I hate it
it is the most common of all, couple or saloon?
It's the ugly duckling - 325ti compact
at least it has one of the better engine! Manual 🤞
Yes manual, its a brilliant car and it drives so well. Some people cant get over how it looks though
