Re: BMW 1-Series Prices and configurator now on US BMW site...

The bad news is that BMW IS SMOKING CRACK! I just put together a very nice little pocket rocket of a 135i Twin-Turbo. The one I virtually built featured Metallic Paint, Navigation, Premium Package, Sport Package, Cold Weather Package, Comfort Access System, Premium Sound, and iPod interface. All that in the Baby Beemer for a mere $44,925 + Destination!
Hanz, put the crackpipe DOWN! $44,925 for a 1-Series with what I would consider typical equipment? That didn't include Automatic, Active Steering, Back-Up Assist, HD Radio, XM Radio, and some other small misc. items. A fully loaded one with all option boxes checked weighs in at more than $48,000 USD!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF???? The last generatino M3 was only $53,000 when it came out in 2003. A comparable 335i Coupe now is only about $4,500 more(the new 3 Series is also WAY overpriced aswell). I mean damn... I just can't believe it. I thought they had a sure winner here, but I can't conceive that there are very many people that would pay $40,000 + for an entry level BMW parts. You could any number of other import performace coupes for less than that...
Here's putting in perspective. Doing the math of the $44,925 BMW, you buy an Impala SS V8, a Cobalt Sedan, a 60 in HDTV, and a full Bose Home Theater System and still have $1,000 left over...
DISCUSS!
Lol. Hmm.. Upon browsing this forum for some BMW review. Right now I am thinking twice to get BMW as my second car. Geez.
