Best Reason to Buy the BMW 1-Series: Exterior styling
Looks cast from metal; rich paint; classy when top up or down. Side, front, back views match BMW ideal. Might be best achieved of the Chris Bangle designed bimmers.

Best Reason Not to Buy the BMW 1-Series: Rear seat room & comfort
Either young children for longer drives or most adults for trips below 30-40 miles each way. Just a "small car" (though with more rear-room that Lexus 250-350 4-door series!).

Other Reasons to Buy the BMW 1-Series: Handling, Powertrain performance, Materials & workmanship, Brand reputation & image

Other Reasons Not to Buy the BMW 1-Series: Price or payments, Cargo capacity & towing, Ride smoothness, Insurance & depreciation

Best Reason to Buy the BMW 1-Series: Handling
Car feels comnnected to the road - inspires confidence. 128i has more than sufficient power & torque to put a smile on a drivers face.

Best Reason to Buy the BMW 1-Series: Powertrain performance
300 horsepower (and 400 horsepower with the added DINAN software upgrade) is unbelieveable!

Best Reason Not to Buy the BMW 1-Series: Past personal experience
BMWs tend to be less reliable on the longer term (4+ years).

Other Reasons to Buy the BMW 1-Series: Handling, Materials & workmanship, Brand reputation & image, Price or payments

Other Reasons Not to Buy the BMW 1-Series: Ride smoothness, Controls and instruments, Feature availability

Best Reason to Buy the BMW 1-Series: Powertrain performance
Smooth linear power for a turbo vehicle. Tons of torque, easy to modify for additional performance gains.

Best Reason Not to Buy the BMW 1-Series: Price or payments
The standard features are lacking. Many cars costing half as much have more features than the 1-series. You can get better equipped cars for the same money with Infiniti (G37S) and Audi (TT-S, S4).

There is a lot of low end torque, making it a great daily driver.

The dealers are not very honest with you and try to screw you over on rates.
