Good, keep the brand strong. I don't ever wanna see this thing here.

BMW did a good move by not bringing that ugly 118i thing over here...I hated those in person.

At least the 1er is based on the 3er, it shares about 90% of the parts.
Other manufacturers, such as Toyota or Jaguar try to lure customers into buying low end cars at premium prices. (Mondeo/X-type, Avensys/HS250h, Camry/ES)

The 1er worth every pennies. I'll always go for quality over quantity.

Plus, it's equipped with the best chassis/engines combo on the market.

Aggain, remember the mondeo ? (oops I mean X-type)

Since when is the 118i quality, or any BMW for that matter...I mean come on, that interior, it's pretty awful. Nothing quality about it. I know this is BMWspies and this comment will be deboosted anyways, but open your eyes fanboy...that is not quality.
