This is Autoblog quoting Automotive News, but I thought this was interesting:
Enthusiasts have already made their voice heard on the 'Net, with over 100,000 people signing up for updates on the 1-series through BMW's website. The automaker is hoping that interest will turn into preorders, and is expecting that a high percentage of 1-series coupes will already be sold before they hit dealers this spring.
Doesn't sound like BMW expects these things to be as ubiquitous as the 3-Series, at least not initially. But do not worry! I'm sure there will be plenty of Tahiti Green cars left over for those expecting a big discount.:tongue:
The more information that comes out, the happier I am that I got on the waiting list early.
