I couldn't really see doing a 1 without the Premium package, but it is rather expensive at almost $2400. That bundling issue is something that I became seriously annoyed about this time around the car-buying experience; enough so that I almost threw in the towel on the whole idea (was pondering getting a used pickup truck, lol). But all the manufacturers seem to be doing it, and in the end it's only money, so I finally just shrugged and got what I wanted.

Anyway, according to Edmunds you're getting your car for less than invoice, which, with your options, is $40,830. I paid almost a thou over invoice (though still thousands below MSRP). Looks like a pretty sweet deal to me. (Maybe you don't have to pay the $875 destination fee?)

Looked at another way, you're getting a BMW for under $40,000. I'd put on a hat and an overcoat and hope nobody notices you driving off. ;-)
