All I know is that if BMW offered a 1 series with a wider track front and rear and some better suspension tuning, it would be one hell of a car - most likely my future car. The fact that you can only fit a 225-235 wide front tire on a car with 300hp is just pathetic. They made the 1 series overly conservative in its handling (see: understeer) which is why it loses just about every performance comparison test out there.
I love the concept of the 1 series, but the execution leaves much to be desired. If this is the final variant, I feel it will not only dominate the competition, but will finally be the 1 that everyone wanted in the first place.
