Will the new 1 series fit in a bike in the boot wheels off and thoughts about the new M135i....?

I doubt it without putting the back seats down. Could not do it in a 3 series coupe and certainly can't do it in my 3dr 130.
As a car, however, I believe that it has got very good write ups in reviews and although still a lot of money for the size of car, it appears to be good value for the performance etc.

I could get a Five in the back of my old one, needed both wheels off even with the seats down. Frickin tiny inside are 1-series! (Although I assume the new is a little bigger than the old)

Oh, well if you are putting the rear seats down then it is fine. My road bike fits with the rear wheel in. I always put my mtb in a ground effect body bag and pair of wheel bags and I've had 2 bikes and 2 peoples worth of luggage in there fine.

I have the 120d coupe - I assume it's the same dimensions inside as the 1M.

A bike will fit inside with the seats down, albeit with a few caveats. Front wheel needs removing, and you'll need to lower the saddle since the hole between the seats is tiny.

I had 2 in the back of mine the other day, bit of padding between frames to prevent transit damage, as mentioned above put the seats down, remove wheels, lower posts, and jobs a good un.

I've searched on the news channels but I can't find out when he was blinded in both eyes.
