Details continue to dribble out about the U.S.-bound BMW 1 Series along with an extensive series of photos of the U.S.-spec models (albeit with European plates). It likely be here in spring 2008, prices haven’t been announced but are likely to be in the range of $25,000 to $35,000, and, no, the hatchback-almost-wagon model isn’t coming here. While BMW CCA members and others looking for variety say they’d like one, BMW says history shows hatchbacks from Europe aren’t moneymakers for BMW and the dealers.
