To 1 or not to 1

[straightsixer]

Hello guys, hope everyone is doing well. Newbie hear with a few questions to ask. Since im pointing in a 1series board the answers may be a bit biased but thats fine.

Its time to retire the old 3series for a new daily driver with high fun to drive quotient. I am seriously considering a cooper S bc it fits in my price range (mid 20's) and fun to drive and fuel efficient. Coming from an E30, Im def. not feeling the torque steer and the goofy center speedo but those things I could get used to. On the other side of the coin I could maybe swing a lease on a 1(would def. want the 135i) but dont know what the figures will be?

So what do you folks think:thumbup:

PS. have you guys seen that F1 style steering wheel in the accessories catalogue--I can feel like Kimi Raikkonen on the way to work( without the gorilla suits that is)

The lease figures are not known as of yet until BMWUSA releases them. I am waiting for the numbers also. Until release we are all guessing at what the figures are at this point.

My MINI has been the best handling FWD car I've ever driven. I can't wait to get rid of it.

ymmv

The central speedo is more for looks, there is actually a digital speedo in the tacho., so it's NBD


I'd totally go for the 1 though!
