Question about 2008 bmw 1 series?
If any one knows, there is a 2008 bmw 1 series 128i that is not yet in the U.S I think, And I would like to know what would the price range be a year later say if the car had 15,ooo miles on it?
Source: Yahoo! Answers, 3 answers

Well considering an new one is around 33k, it would probably be around in the 24-27k range after a little more than a year of use and 15k miles. For those telling you to get a 135i, you should only get it if power and the m-kit is your highest priority. We have to remember that not all people are...

More Info

Why should I also consider these? X

In a shape that exudes contemporary BMW styling, the 2008 BMW 1-Series offers room for four and a bit of luggage.

Compared to the svelte 3-Series, the 1-Series looks a bit stubby, but it gets the job done.

Beyond the more expensive 3-Series, there aren't many direct model-per-model competitors to the 1-Series.

In terms of body styles (2+2 coupe and convertible), the Ford Mustang GT comes closest, but because of its domestic roots, we doubt there will be much cross-shopping going on between these two.

A more realistic competitor is the V-6-powered Infiniti G37 Coupe, although the G37 is not offered as a convertible.

The converse is true about the sporty Honda S2000, although it is a strict two-seater powered by a high-revving four-cylinder.
