I believe each of us is allowed 3 truthful posts per month.
 
The other folks here must have exceeded their truthful allotment, so they get to talk about how wonderful the 1 Series is.
 
I only have 1 truthful post remaining in June. Luckily, it is almost the end of the month.

TTAC makes a fetish of bucking prevailing opinion and often rates cars the opposite of everyone else. They gave the Touareg TDI 5 stars and the Cayenne 4. Maybe they just don't like small cars. ">

The reviewer in question, Mike Solowiow, is no more or less qualified to compare cars than we are. He seems knowledgeable enough and is obviously an enthusiast, so I respect his opinion - even if I don't agree with it.
 
EDIT - of course, he didn't really test these cars in his review. They both had automatic transmissions...

I find their reviews to be candidly refreshing, whether I like it or not.

Any 1-Series owners here... other than bruski and myself?
 
I started to reply earlier and the post went off into cyberland somewhere. If it happens to appear, please forgive me for repeating myself.
 
I have configured a 135i about 5 times and ended up not choosing a single option.
 
The sports package seems like an obvious choice, but the standard seats appear to be well bolstered. The shadowline trim is nice, but for 1,100 clams I can do without that.
 
I guess I should sit in one and/or drive one the next time I am at the dealers instead of just looking at them. I think they are a little homely looking, but that's not something I base my car buying on - color either as long as it isn't blue.
 
The wife likes heated seats so maybe I'll choose that. Whatever it takes to make her happy.
 
Just curious - did you choose many options or just go "bare bones"? The 135i seems to have all the goodies already included.
 
I've waited so long now I guess I might as well wait for the '09s to come out.

I think the way to buy the 1 series is to go bare bones, in order to get some serious price separation with the 3, and also to make the 1 a logical step-up from a Cooper S. If you load up the options on a 1, people are going to say, "You pay WHAT for that little thing?"
