More and more 1ers on the road

[whitebimmer09]

I am starting to see more and more 1 series on the road in the past few months. I think the prices have now gotten to the point where people are buying them.

I get so excited seeing them cruise around that I will u-turn sometimes and chase them down (if it's a 135) just to give them a thumbs up.

I don't know where they are coming from, I look on autotrader daily and craigslist all the time for them.

FYI....people were buying them before they depreciated too

funny because I rarely see 1 series around where I live. Porsche 997s and 991s are a dime a dozen, but 1 series are few and far between.

Oh and I commute from western suburbs into Boston every day on the main highway here (I90). I have only seen *one* 2 series on the road ever. 3 series are everywhere as is almost every other model of BMWs. At least where I live I don't think the 2 is selling.

They wouldn't have been around for the used car market if they weren't!

There can't be more and more 1ers since they are out of production unless you're saying people are driving them more? *shrug* In my area, I've always seen a couple 1 series a week and I don't think I've seen a change in that so far.

I had seen a new looking, I don't know 11 or 13, m135i coupe a few weeks ago, fought through traffic to pull up next to it just to shake my head at the chick driving. Then I sped off as if I were better.

It's seldom I see them here in NC.


It's even more rare when I head back home to MI. I almost never see them there.

I've seen maybe 3 total in the Raleigh area. I like having a car you don't see everyday. We have a beautiful Challenger R/T Blacktop Edition which is nice but we see Challengers all day long.

I see more convertibles around. A few 128 coupes. One or two other 135 coupes.

Well, considering they have not built one in about 8 months, I really doubt there are more on the road.

I have seen several a day for many years.

I never see them. I have the only 1er in my town and me and my two other friends are the only ones with 1 series in central pa area. I get all giddy if I ever see one passing through or if I see any modded BMWs for that reason

[DSSG]

Very few in my area!

In a few years the One will become a cult car just like the 2002 is today. This is guaranteed looking at the monster vehicles BMW is making.

After my horrifying experience with the Floaty Boatey, I can't see any new BMWs in my future. In fact, after my 1970 2002, I totally lost interest in BMWs until the One came along.

Even the Two does little to yank my chain, and the rest of the lineup is just too expensive for what it offers.

[lowbudgethero]

more people buying them used and using them as a DD I think

I rarely see a 1 series in Las Vegas

[Esteban]

I've only seen a handful of 1ers in my area. I like it that way. To me, my car is rare and special, but I love coming on 1addicts and reading and posting and seeing pics of my favorite car. Here, they're all special and we're all lucky to have one.

are cars less expensive in Vegas?
I get my cars from Cali because of the price difference.

[ShocknAwe]

Very few 1ers in SC. Those that I do see are typically 128i verts.

no sales tax helped, i didnt find the cali dealer(s) cheaper in terms of price, but then this was a 1er with not as much sales volume i suppose

plus i didnt get my front bumper drilled

I hate when the drill the front bumper in Cali

[inFamousKicks]

Never see them by me. Once saw a 135is parked and a couple 128 verts driven by older folk. That's about it.

East Bay BMW did not drill my bumper, handed me the license plate mount and had me sign a waiver.
