How did you get an RX-8 for 25 grand? Here they cost more like 40.
(In Euros that is)

Visca Catalunya!
wtf ?
You are getting ripped off !!!!
18K for the 192 and 20K for the higher performance.
Euro/GBP hasn't collapsed that much (yet) so I dont' know ehre you get 40K euros from
But there again WHAT BMW can you get for 25K euros
Basline to mid for the 1-series and only baseline for the 3.
THAT is not good value and certainly not when comparing the competition !!
But, I fear this may be msised

It was 33k for the 192bhp and 38k for the 231bhp. That's 125-130i money here. However it was our BMW (the 118d) which cost 25 thousand, a 143bhp hatchback. The question here though is, what is the competition? A 140bhp Megane diesel or a car that drives as well as it and seats four?

That sounds like some communist government plot to stop you buying Wankel tech !
That's effing ridiculous mark up --- and that's coming from a Brit who're USED to paying the highest in Europe
Seriously though ? The rear seat of the BMW isn't that spacious - the RX-8 is a better fit for tall folks ffs and it's boot's not brilliant either - be honest

I didn't realise the first time it WAS a question and not a statement regarding the beemerOriginally Posted by Ferrer
Why these types of discussions are often frustrating.
BY focussing on it's positives and not admitting it's negatives up front, readers are required to engage to draw from you the downsides.
Of course, this just convinces most of us that the Beemer is even WORSE than we experienced or imagined as owners start sounding like the worst of the fanboys
( imagine all your posts on this with "BMW" replaced with "Honda Civic" and you'll see what I mean )

But I'm not arguing the BMW is perfect, I'm just saying take it for what it is.
If you want to drive great! Do you need to trans port people or stuff? Buy something else.
My point was it isn't overpriced. What it does, it does it quite remarkably well.

BUT when you then compare it with cars that frankly STUFF it on value, handling and performance then you bring in the rear seats.
Can't have it both ways
and that confirms my comment on the "honda Civic" facboyism so I'll leave this thread till sense prevails
The 1-series IS an over-priced car for what you get beyond the blue-white propellor badge on the front.

What if you need the rear seats, like I did? But anyway, each to his own.

It's no "to our own" tho' Ferrer as you admit the rears on the 118 aren't that good
So do you need them or not, or do you only need them for kids or folks you hate ??
In that case get a Lotus Evora

'course it makse sense Ferrer.
Was only suggseting what does NOT make sense is the defense of it
