BMW C1 (is flying nicer ?)

Hello,

I had nothing to do with a bike before and I never thought about it. Until my BMW car had been for Service in the workshop, they offered me an C1 instead of a rental car. I said yes, because I thought it was a Coupe, Cabriolet or something like this. And then the surprise (fright ??!!). there was standing a super red half smart car. The Service guy smiled, gave me the keys and I’ve got a short introduction This was in Summer 2000.

After a few kilometres later I was so thrilled, that I drove nearly 200 km at this day with the C1. I was infected..... and kept this thing. But at the end of the day I had to give it back. But then the question, do I need a C1, came up. The winter time comes up and I stopped thinking about the C1. But also in Summer 2001 I couldn’t find a reason to buy a BMW C1. Then... another ride with the C1, because my car has been at annual Service. It was in late September 2001. I couldn’t stop the strong feeling to get it. Now I knew I must have it. After a positive Discussion with my wife I bought it. Just for Fun. This was at the 5. October 2001. Of course I could wait until Summer 2002 (or not ?), but I would like to have it now and not later. On the other hand it was also a good time for bargain.

There is my C1 now and as you could see I’m happy, but all my Friends and colleagues are thinking now I’m crazy, but that does not matter for me. The most good experience I had directly one day later as I looked in the City of Hamburg for a parking space. I really was surprised, because I didn’t need one. Only in the car garage at home the cars must now stand a little bit more narrow to keep the space free for my new BMW C1.
