My old E36 was built like a tank - seemed sturdier in ride and build quality although my memory is going back 25 years.

Also, to me the seating position on the 1 sits a bit high compared to other BMWs I've had.
Definitely interesting for sure. Only have done 100km with it on my single trip to our 'DMV' so still need to learn it. Car is back in storage now as I don't have plates for it yet.

But yes, still hydraulic. Active Steering always comes with hydraulic PS. But the extra plenatary gearbox between you and the rack makes it less.

Seating position is definitely higher. Electric seats will only add to it.
