BMW 1M coupe in Scotland

[dinosaurumpus]

Excuse the random slightly cheeky request, but am seriously looked at buying a 2nd hand car from down South but would ideally like to have a seat in one (not a drive) to gauge that I can actually fit my tall gangly frame into one comfortably, and also gauge the rear seat room to accommodate 2 youngsters occasionally.

Have only sat in one very briefly pre-launch at the FoS 3 or 4 years ago.

I am based in Aberdeenshire but down in central belt often and would gladly travel a bit to have look if any Scottish PHers may be able to assist. A PM would be most appreciated if able to help. Many thanks

Surely you can find a 1 series coupe at a local garage to sit in.

I have one! But I'm down in the borders, happy to help if you are ever down this way.

I bought my wife a 123d M Sport Convertible, I'm 6ft 2 and the thing was horrendous to drive, no rear space with the seat back, felt very cramped etc. I can't imagine much difference with the 1M.

pscl227 - thanks for the offer - down in auld reekie soon, so may give u shout. thanks.

y3chr - thanks too... not an unexpected comment to be fair. got probably a bit too excited the other day when I read a review that talked about a nice low slung driving position and actually decent cabin space given the cars dimensions.

many thanks.
