It's bigger than a bread box, but not by much ; -)
This car is small - I stumbled on something last night that perked me up. I was reading about Daewoo of all things and ran across the dimensions of the Chevy Aveo. It's almost the same size as the 1er. The 1er will fit inside a shell of a Mazda3 (tight fit of course).
Then I remembered a ride in a V8 powered Ford Focus I got at SEMA a couple of years ago. That was a little over 300 HP and 300 lb ft of torque in a rear wheel drive Focus. (Ford Racing actually sold (or sells) a kit to do that.)
And then it hit me like a hammer - they had to make the wheelbase 104" in the 1er in order to keep us from wrapping ourselves around light poles!! I'm getting a lot more enthused about this car. :biggrin:
