This is a new US model for BMW with a relatively small production run.

If you're looking for a good lease deal, a brand new model BMW is not going to be an option. There are all types of good deals for the 3-series out there. If you really want a 1, you should buy the car, or wait till the fall/next year.

What BMW is trying to do makes good sense. There is not a lot of money to be made on this vehicle. They seem to be trying to tightly control the launch. The crap lease deals for the 1-series will help to prevent the "cheap" stigma associated with a smaller model.
