As the 3 Series has raised the bar on performance, build and material quality and prestige, so the price has increased as well. The 1 Series seems to be the foil to the ultra high price tag on the most "economical" BMW in the range. However, I expect the price of a fully loaded 1 to close in on the $30-35k barrier, right where the 3 was just a few years ago. Hopefully, one will be able to spec out a 1 with the twin turbo engine and a no frills interior for less than the price of a Mustang GT or Camaro when it comes out. I am hoping to see a full compliment of vintage 2002 colors as well. How cool would that be? This looks to be the second coming of the 2002, and none too soon.
