regardless of price, this car promotes discussion. Good job BMW, now make the 1 series a family, you have a 2 door coupe, also bring the 3dr and 5dr hatchs, and what the heck make a 4 dr sedan, size of the old E30. I have a used E39, paid more money for it, but 4 years later I am still giddy about the car, cause the handling, drive, smoothness of the I6, manual shift, heck the experience is fantastic, its the best part of my day. If you can afford it, get one, but if you have not had a bimmer in ur life, you have no idea what your talking about. Just my $0.02.
