I think most of us agree. The 1er is unique, and either it appeals to you or it doesn't - no harm either way! Not one of us has been forced to buy a 1 series, we chose to!

As they say in France "Vive le difference"!

He may just be giving you a hard time. Be a man, stick to your guns and enjoy your new car

But, if he really does think it's too small, point him to this (taken from here). The only place the 3 series is bigger is on the outside(aka, all show )

Edit: Depending on the relationship you two have you could also give him crap about his POS

The 1 is styled uniquely without being ridiculous.

6'3" 240lbs and I fit great in the 135i Vert. I have almost 4"'s of headroom which literally brings tears to my eyes after years of sitting in sports cars made for midgets.
