The BMW 1 series is on it's way out (the new 2 series coupe looks HOT), and along with it goes the last of BMW's NA i6 motors and hydraulic steering. I wouldn't be surprised if idrive is also standard going forward (like the 3 series) so there goes the driver oriented simplistic interior. Hopefully others who are on the fence and leaning towards the 1 series will take action soon before it's too late.

I wasn't referring to a bottom-of-the-barrel 128i, but a well-equipped 128i (at least equipped with everything I wanted) was around $43k, and if you wanted to go to a 135is, you were getting awfully close to $50k, IIRC.
An early E90 might be pushing it, but a BRZ+E46 is awfully easy to do for the price of a new 1er.
