Ignoring the part about top speed and pounds per horsepower (see my previous post)...
I don't know where you got your numbers, but estimates about acceleration for the FR-86 is about 7 seconds 0-60, maybe high 6s. The 128i is in the low 6s (6.1 according to BMW's web site:

Of course YMMV depending on various factors I've mentioned in my previous post. My point here is that (street) performance is vastly different between the two such that this is meaningless to compare based on the factor. Same goes with price.
Other factors are of course valid. Some people don't like the look of the 1-series. Fine. Some people don't want all the luxury gizmos in the 1-series. Fine too. But price and performance are two factors that are vastly different, and for most people, those are the two primary factors for cross shopping cars.
