Default 2008 BMW 1-series coupe

Anyone hear about it. It looks really nice, and 0-62 in 5.3 seconds. More information can be found here: http://jalopnik.com/cars/new-cars/th...tos-274026.php

yeah, I followed this link from http://www.us.playstation.com/grantu...FR11lgodDgNZcA to a page about the 1 Series, and I really like it.
I'm just really like the styling, its boxier than the other line-ups of BMW...and I'm more of a fan of sleek boxy-ness.
It's really obvious if you look at my favorite cars...
BMW M3? Sleek and Boxy
Nissan Skyline GTr-34? Sleek and Boxy
Mercedes Benz 190e? Sleek and Boxy
and I'm a fan of alot of late 60's and 70's models..which are all truely Sleek and Boxy...
with that said, its just one factor to add that somehow I HATE the styling of the Scion X-series...I guess because that's just Boxy, not sleek lol

I've seen a couple on the road now. They look pretty nice. I can't help but feel that the 1-series might take away sales from the 3-series though...

There are really nice cars but man they are expensive. For a nicely equipped 135 it is around 40k and you can get a 328 even a used 335 for that price, if it was more in the low thirties high 20s range then it would be perfect.

yeah.. entry level german (luxury) cars tend to be a bit of a rip-off. you're only paying for the name.
