There are no US Spec 1-er Hatch models!

This blue four door (hatch) car has Swiss plates (small white plate in front and big/long Swiss plate in the rear. Looks like a 130i. He probably just wanted a xeon upgrade and got some US spec lights. That way he got an upgrade AND his car stands out from "other" one series.

I rather like the way my US lights look(oranges) vs the normal silver euro lights over here. People will always want something different. For US guys that means silvers... for euro guys thats mean oranges.
