I don't care that not the current version. Hell I still don't see my car on the road much 6 years later and everyone still thinks it's a 3 series or M3 for all they know (which ain't much). But they're might be something to your point. If I didn't own a 1 series I would be considering this car more. I'm sure I talked myself into the 1 a lot easier since I didn't care what it looked like I was going to by it regardless based on size alone. 6 years later tho I do like the fact that might 1 series looks far less than a Toyota Camry overall like the new 2 looks like to me. But hey that's just my 2 cents.....
