BMW 1 Series

The poor mans BMW, is now... a BMW. Starting at under $30,000 US, BMW has finally released the 1 series. You can't get any lower then that. If by now you haven't gotten the point, we think it's a little silly to be ruining what was once such a great brand. This being said, the stats are quite impressive. The 135i gets the engine that was once in the 335, producing an outstanding 300 horses. For $5000 cheaper and 70 hp less, the 128i will leave you wishing you got the 335. I think BMW's prestige level just fell a few thousand points, but I'm sure the sales will increase. Now everyone and their mailman can own a 'BMW'.
Buy yours here... if you really want to.

Maybe I shouldn't be so hard on the 1 series. It is still a pretty sick car for the price.

It might well have a negative effect on people's perception of BMW. My first reaction to the headline was that this was a joke entry. Still, it's cool to be able to buy a brand new BMW for less than a used version of one of their other models.
