97 1.9ti Australian Review

The part about the ti being more responsive than the z3 is intresting. How can this be? Z3 are lighter right?

that 10.9 0-100 km/h doesn't seem right... not that I know for sure... Also, I disagree with the whol cramped pedal space thing, to me it seems perfect, especially for heel-toeing and the like. In the first paragraph of the article they start talking about the 316, yet the title is about the 318, which strikes me as an odd topic sentence, but I guess it still makes sense. Just seemed unclear to me. Also... the comment about the reverse gear being up and to the left... I guess the guy is just not used to BMWs/most German made cars.

Thanks for the article... it's always interesting to see people's opinions about the ti.
