It's a BMW. That's the wrong question.

Have you looked at Mercedes? They make very pretty cars......

Decide what you wan't out of the car as far as space, utility, and what you intend to do with the car.

If you suspect you will normaly be hauling 3 frends around the 3 is probably a better choice, even as a coupe.

On the other hand if you are mostly going to be rolling solo or with one passenger, the 1 is a better choice, less weight = better fuel economy, plus the rear seats fold down.

If you want to Autocross then definatly the 1, If you suspect longer commutes are in your future I'd lean more toward the 3. Both are great cars, but they each serve a slighly diffrent need.

Drive them both and think about how you are going to use the car. That will tell you which one you want.
