Coupe and convertible are scheduled to debut at Franfurt in September according to Scott.

Let's face it, BMW has all the stuff in it's toybox to make the 1-er a very special car. Hitting the target on model prices is going to be a huge challenge. But I don't think that the possible price overlap with the 3-series is such a determining factor...the 1-er has its own set of customer base...much different than the typical buyer for a "3".

I mean, is anyone on this forum remotely considering a 3-er sedan if the engine choice they want isn't there or if a 3.0, for example, in the 1-er is only a shade less expensive than the 3-er? It's like comparing apples and oranges.
