The 3 series also has a wider stance, fenders, is lower with more headroom among other benefits. The 3 series isnt more expensive compared to the 1er for no reason

1) The 1M has a track equally as wide as the M3, however because it's a smaller car it looks even wider than the M3; not to mention those flared fenders that make the 1M look muscular and the M3 anorexic. 2) The 1M does not have a sunroof and the slanting/slope of the roof is less pronounced than that of the M3, therefore the 1M offers more head room - check out the owner threads with plenty of drivers who are way over 6 ft in height and not a single complaint. 3) Lastly, M3 = dime a dozen, 1M = 800-1000 for the US only...yes, people are willing to pay for a piece of history in the making. It is an outstanding purist/enthusiast car, something that cannot be said about the current e92 M3 - it's grown too large and too heavy. I do respect the car though - its got an amazing power plant that growls, and it is an attractive car; however, between the 2, it's always the 1M for me every single time. |

Why would I want to pay 54k for a car when I can get a 08 135i with the same engine for around 30k then take the extra 24k and spend it in performance upgrades. Your paying for the M logo not whats inside of it.

Yeah, I can vouch for that...I saw a 1M at WheelSTO the other day. Pics don't do it justice, it appears to be wider in person and simply amazing. I always wanted an M3 but now I might prefer a 1M.

Listen to what I said and YOU will understand. Yes i strayed a bit from the threads topic with one sentence, regardless what I meant was there are quite a lot of pros with the 3 series over the 1 series which is why there is a raise in expense. I am speaking of the 135-335 comparison, NO M. So YES the 3 is wider, lower, with more room, etc. My points were valid, you just didnt recognize which models I was actually speaking of. Yes I know the 1M is wider than both, etc.

Great and pissing match going on here, gents. This is almost more entertaining than the end of the Mayweather-Ortiz fight yesterday.
Seriously Newton BMW, $57,300 and the reserve still hasn't been met?
