perhaps we should define aesthetics. I my eyes the car is butt ugly. Even the Z3-Coupe wins it by mile in the looks department.

Strange, usually it's the americans taking this stance and the europeans defending the car. I've sat in the back seat of a 128i and if my fat ass can fit comfortably I'm thinking anyone not big enough to play american footbal professionally should be fine. Do we get different versions or something?

I think you only get the Coupe, but I believe both the Coupe and hatchback have the same interior space, altough the Coupe's boot is probably bigger.
By the way, last week I was able to fit four people (including me) inside easily as well. Only the access to the back seats wasn't very comfortable, but that's because it's the three door model.
In any case, I agree it's not the most practical or spacious car in the world due to its layout.

Well I understand using shared parts with the 3er, since after all BMW car manufacturers are bussiness, but the 1 Series isn't that much smaller which could explain partly as well why it's not that much lighter than its bigger brother.

Right. I guess my problem isn't so much the shared parts (as long as it's done well I never object to that) so much as the feeling that if it shared fewer parts then maybe there would have been a bigger difference in size and weight, not to mention cost. I guess I was looking for a new mini but a bit more BMWish than just shared suspension.

BMW will build small, front wheel drive model positioned and priced right under the current 1-Series.
Now, you can expect a massive protest coming on from so-called enthusiasts who believe all BMWs should be RWD only.
On the other hand, a general consensus here seems to be that BMW could use a more efficent layout. I find that quite suprising.
