i dont understand how they can reel in more buyers by offering this car at a high price. it makes no sense. 1er is tiny and the ride is going to be "harsh" by soccer mom standards... in other words its a niche car, and if you give it a niche car price how does that make the M series more accessible to the "regular buyer"? just because its less expensive than a M3 or M5???
Have you seen the price of Audi TT-RS or Porsche Cayman S?

The M1 (E82) looks very much like M3 (E46): I6, RWD, same weight if not lighter, same power if not more, same chassis if not better. The only diference is FI. It looks like a better M3 (E46). Can't wait for the limited version M1 CSL (E82), could be a better M3 CSL (E46) and do the N-Ring in 7:40 min. Imagine this for a simple BMW 1 Series!
