1 series is a unique car as being a small coupe with high power and rear wheel drive.
It has some issues in stock form:

1) Suspension is underdamped and has too much body roll. Unsuitable for the performance of the car IMO.
2) Stock rear sub frame bushes give wobbly handling and steering - as though the car always needs a wheel alignment. This is a design compromise for run flat tyres.
3) Fuel tank is too small.
4) Seating position is too upright. 3 series has a better, more sporty layout.
