Yeah, if the M 1er is anywhere near the price of an M3, I'd just go an M3 and enjoy a more 'traditional' driving experience with a manual and NA V8. More room and better options.

UNLESS the 1er gets seats like the CSL and other sexy gizmos which make it more track orientated. They should considering an optioned 135i with lux gear is the 'inexpensive' M3 path.

1er needs to go in a slightly different direction to M3/optioned 135i. Along the lines of the M3 GTS but with a few creature comforts. Come on, how much weight do you actually save by removing the radio and AC?

Just my 3c which is worth more than your 2c
