More Info

Why should I also consider these? X

The Lexus IS C range offers at least as much style as the 1-Series convertible, but lacks the performance prowess of the BMW, and it's not available in pure coupe form, either.

The Audi A3 offers more utility than the 1-Series thanks to its hatchback format, and is very close to a match in terms of quality and luxury, but like the Lexus, it too falls into a lower performance class.

Porsche's Boxster and Cayman are both a notch higher up the performance spectrum (and the luxury range as well), but are somewhat more expensive.

Finally, the Infiniti G37 coupe and convertible are likely to find many fans among the 1-Series set, and for good reason: it follows a similar formula, offers more power, and has nearly as much to offer in terms of quality, though it falls short on the upper-tier luxury features of the BMW.
