To the guy who said he met people who laughed at the 1 series - there's really no reason to be bothered by those folks. Have you heard of hanlon's razor? They're probably trying to take a jab at you because they're ignorant and stupid - not because they're malicious.

Anyways, the E82 N54 has its limitations (mostly that the wheel wells don't fit rubber big enough to deal with N54 E9Xs) but it's certainly not a stupid fast car. No LSD, unreliable, heavy, not that pretty, understeer problems.

Don't get me wrong, I love the 1. However, as much as people underestimate it, I feel like it's also a very over-estimated car as well.
