I think the 1er only makes sense financially if you get a stripper. A 135 can get pricey pretty fast once you start adding options and it takes you too close to what you could get a slightly less equipped 3er coupe. Plus I think the 1er doesn't really suit all the bells and whistles. It's an entry level car and loading it to the gills seems out of step.

Are you considering the 128 or 135?
Not sure which one yet. The CEO and I will have one to drive for a day next week. Not sure which one the dealer will loan me. I too am of the thinking.....the 135 is too pricey for what you get. With that being said, I don't want a 3 series and the CEO has never expressed interest in one. She has mentioned a X3, but that won't happen. (no dis to you X3 owners) ......Phil
