With Luxury and Sport packages (typical on dealer lots) you are close to $40K if not more.

That kind of money is hard to justify for a 1 series (unless of course it is an M)

I think what would be more typical is a 128i starting at $27 and a 130i starting at $32. Just a guess, but it seems to make the most sense.
I understand that 40k for a non-M 1 series is asking a lot. But, how quickly forget that its quite hard to get into a base Z4 for less than 40,000, and that is small as hell. The Z4-M that i sat in had a nice sticker of $58,000. hmmm
