Thanks for the comments guys.
I thought it looked really good on the road. Like I said, from a distance I thought it was a 3 series. It really didn't look that much smaller to me, although it is. The 135 coupe will probably be my next BMW purchase. I won't buy it new, but will probably pick up a CPO in a couple of years. The only gripe I have about the 1 series, besides the fact that it could be a little lighter, is that the body is a little taller when compared to the 3 series. I think this may be more noticable in the 1 series convertible than the coupe due to the missing steel roof lines on top of the car. Also, the boot looks a little fatter as well. The rear of the new 3 coupe gets my vote for the best looks of the two. Overall I really do like the looks of the 1 series and I think it fits me just perfect regarding vehicle size, performance and fuel economy. Especially after owning 2 e30's and a current e36. This car is already a strong performer, but with a little tuning it will be an absolute rocket. Especially for the money.
