There has never been a BMW that has been hurriedly facelifted because of individual opinion. For many that state the E65 was quickly facelifted only has to investigate that's its facelift occurred in 2005 at its mid-life.
The 1er will be facelifted in 2014. Its mid life before changeover to new UKL matrix in 2017.
You say "enthusiast" like it is a 4 letter word.

Remember, without people like us, your marketing efforts wouldn't mean sh*t.

Just sayin...

By the way, just because something sells well doesn't mean there aren't components of the whole that can be improved. The front end being a prime example. It really goes beyond funky to just fugly...
