Sum Up: not cheap. and not a cut-price 3 series.

Whats New: Brand new (for the U.S.) last year, the four-car 1 Series lineup should remain basically unchanged for sophomore outing, offering myriad standard amenities and a host of options. We can but wish for a turbodiesel version, similar to its next-in-line stablemate, as well as an M version, predicted to (maybe) arrive sometime in the mid teens.
