I was lucky enough to grab the last build-out allocation in the region for my 135is. A small car with a big engine has always been my style. The 235i just didnt appeal to me at all.

In the US? Absolutely. They are marketing it a lot more. Does ANYONE remember a 1er commercial here? lol

Also, like you I think the 1 is one of the best looking cars BMW ever made. It looks like an updated E46 coupe. Nearly every time I park it I turn around and look at it because it looks so nice haha Last edited by chris82; 07-23-2014 at 07:41 PM.. Reason: adding more |

i think the 2 will ultimately suffer the same fate of the 1, and its not becuase it's a bad car, but becuase of perception. The layman will say, 2 is less than 3, people will think i am buying the "cheap" bmw, and will thus default to the ever popular 3 series (now 4 series).

FWIW I auto crossed a 228 last weekend in NJ and I was underwhelmed. It under steered terribly and the ZF automatic transmission was dismal. the steering was terrible and the engine was boring.
I still came in 1st place in the autocross event....guess driving the 1er has made me a better driver for sure! |

I think the 2 will achieve better success than the 1. It has less polarizing styling, a nicer interior, and is more refined. I wouldn't trade my 1er in for one but I could see myself buying one if I was in the market. What is tough for me is pricing they have gotten really expensive and there are a lot of performance competitors now that are cheaper. |

I think the 2 will be more popular as well. They made the ascetics main stream, and with the AWD coming more people will buy it. For me I will keep my 135 till death!

For what its worth:
I went to BMW dealer to test drive cars while in service. Sales guy was VERY knowledgeable about each model, specs etc. He said flat out he didn't like the 228 and that they sold MAYBE under ten at the most of the 2 Series since they came out. He said the 1 series was a much better more respected car that sold "MUCH BETTER" according to him He said the 2 Series is selling absolutely terrible and the hottest cars are the x5 and the 4 Series.
