It's apples and oranges. Big car vs. small car. And God I hope the 1-er doesn't ride like a "3".
This forum started with a bunch of Canadian and American guys all basically praising the fact that BMW will finally be bringing out a small, fast, sporty car that honors it's heritage. Many of us have bemoaned the fact that the 3 series has gotten fat, big, and expensive.
I don't doubt that BMW may lose some sales to the 1-er from 3-er but I don't think it'll be significant.
It's 2 different customers...two different types of preferences.
