I'm looking for a car alternative for living in London city, and C1 seems like a good option. But I'm worried about looking cool as a 30 year old guy with this type of vehicle.
BMW C1 (scooter with roof) - Cool or Un-cool??

They stopped making them becaue they were expensive and not great sellers. Even in Germany they were thought pretty un-cool and that is not exactly the most chic motorcycling part of the world. However why are you bothered what other people think? If you want one, get one. They were not a bad concept at all, keep the weather off and if you fall over you don't get hurt as long as you keep hands and arms inside the machine. They make a lot of sense in a place like London I would have thought, especially as an every day transport. The whole cool thing is a piece of nonsense anyway. It's like people who spend 150,000 quid on a car because they think that people notice them, are wowed because they are so cool. No one gives a monkeys and 2 seconds after seeing the car everyone has completely forgotten about it. In summary if the bike works for you then get it and be an individual - that is what motorcycling (in all it's forms) is all about. EDIT - Muddy below - real bikers do not mock anyone on a powered two wheeler.

You're 'worried about looking cool'?
I'd be worried about looking uncool. It's a bit pretentious looking and it doesn't give you more than a scooter would give you.
Buy a scooter and decent rain gear.
