A lot of people at 1addicts or whatever is called thinks it is a good price point. I think it seriously sucks! Yes, I understand it includes the $775 handling/destination charge (which still may go up slightly); but, I don't care --- it's still a $35K base price car.Well, BMW has announced formal base pricing for the 1-series at Los Angeles, removing all doubt. The 128i coupe, with a 3.0-liter, 230 horsepower I6, starts at $29,375, while the 135i, with the twin-turbo, 300-horsepower six, clocks in at $35,600. This is being brought to you mere minutes after the announcement, and there is no official press release yet, so stay tuned and we'll keep you updated.
Add in the options -- and, it's not cheap ... It's not a light car by any means -- and, out the door with PP, CWP, upgraded audio, etc ... you are well over $40K for it. Plus, it is smaller than the E46 ... so, the rear seat is really not useable from what people are saying that actually seen/driven it. I would consider it for a daily driver; but, definitely not at the $40K range. I also thought that the BMWCCA rewards is not being offered on the one-series? The price to me is disappointing. I do not buy that whole B.S. that it is a BMW ...
What are used Exige's going for? I thought middle-upper 30's now.
This only means that the rumor of the E92 M3 might actually be true with a base near $55-58K, or bordering very close to $60K. So, out the door on that one is going to be near $70K.
It looks like I will never buy a newer BMW now unless it is 3-4 years old, at least ... I'm now forced to look at the E46 again with these prices.
