		<description>Too much.
I&#039;d rather pay a lot more and get a 7-series.It&#039;snot like this is an accord, but I&#039;mthinking sub-40 would&#039;ve been the right price for a loaded model.

Madcapp: I hope you get lots of mercury for christmas.

HotMustard: Toyota&#039;s faux-luxury division wants to compete with BMW, not the other way around.</description>

		<description>35k is too high of a starting price point.  A sport-package 135 with a manual tranny, with Bluetooth and the upgraded stereo comes in at over 37k.  That&#039;s insanely expensive.

Will have to go for the Clubman!</description>

		<description>Ok I&#039;m hearing that the pricing is going to be even worse than this article has suggested:  Closer to 50k loaded, and even worse, you probably won&#039;t be able to find an actual car for less than $37-39k, as most dealerships wont even order a car with no options</description>

		<description>It&#039;s settled then, let&#039;s all NOT buy it.
New BMW&#039;s are getting softer every year, pre owned E46 M3 is more of an enthusiasts car anyway.</description>

		<description>BMW needs to get over themselves. Heated seats is a $500 option when GM offers it in many of  their cars for $150?

POWER seats is an option?? This is a LUXURY company? I can see it in a bottom-market Chevy or Ford, but BMW?

A stupid MP3 jack is $400? Standard on GM cars now, I think Ford is doing it soon too.

Not to mention to get all the various options for just the stereo gets close to $4500. Ridiculous.

I love the 1-series, but BMW is nickel and diming this car to death. They really shouldn&#039;t be behind the &quot;lowly&quot; Americans in content for money.</description>

		<description>Ouch!  That&#039;s a lot of money for that car, even if it&#039;s a BMW.  No thank you.  You can keep it or market it to people who are too dumb to make investment with their money.</description>

		<description>BMW - that&#039;s just damn arrogant.
Any vehicle starting with  1  should not go for 30 to 45 big ones.</description>

		<description>Looking at things from a business perspective I could perhaps see why BMW priced the 1 series as such.  In the US, they have a very strong brand identity as a prestigious luxury player.  All of you saying that you&#039;d rather get an evo, or 350z, (myself included) are not the market BMW is necessarily going for.  It would hurt their image if a bunch of recent college grads were hooning around in their riced out 135i&#039;s with HKS exhaust and blow off valves (not that we all would).  They want to compete with Mercedes, Audi&#039;s, and Lexuses for customers who want the prestige and image coming along with buying a luxury car, but can&#039;t afford the current ~34K cost of entry.  In that sense, they have no competition.  I think 29K is as low as they could go given the fact that they had to maintain the prestige of their brand.  

That said, one key thing BMW failed to recognize is the 1-series is butt f-ugly.  If it was as sexy looking as a 335i then I could see people paying this price gladly, but this thing looks like the hideous 318i hatchback from the 90&#039;s with a bangle bodykit.  OK i&#039;m exaggerating on the ugliness but it&#039;s just too upright and boxy for a sports coupe nowadays (look at the G35 coupe for ex).  I can see this thing selling moderatlely, but i predict it won&#039;t be the homerun BMW was hoping for by any means.</description>

		<description>wow. based on msrp, the 335i sedan is only 3,300 more. basically you give up premium package in a 135i. and the 1 series is only 200 lbs lighter? this makes a 350z look like a steal at 29k.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m sure the 135i is a blast to drive. BUT! I can see myself paying that kind of money for it. Not to mention that it is not the most attractive bimmer. I&#039;d rather spend a few more G&#039;s and go for a 3-series. But that&#039;s just me.</description>

		<description>I hate to say it, but keep in mind that this car was designed to be driven as a performance car first: if it is actually available with decent options in the low 30&#039;s, this won&#039;t have any competition... even despite how fugly it is</description>

		<description>I think this is the first topic on LLN that everyone has agreed on. This car is way too expensive. Shame though. I think it looks really good... especially in red, and it should be fun to drive.</description>

		<description>Absolutely ridiculous price.

BMW needed to start prices at or above $25k, not $30k.</description>

		<description>$45k for a loaded 1 series.  That is some insanity right there.  Wonder if the pathetic value of the dollar has anything to do with this...</description>

		<description>I am failing to see the logic in their pricing when you consider what the 3-series costs in comparison. How are they intending to lure buyers one way or the other if the prices are essentially the same?</description>

		<description>This doesnt seem to make sense, for 35,000 you can get a 328 coupe, and for around 43 you can get a 335 coupe. i would sacrifice the options, keep the same engine and get the 3 rather than the 1. Maybe we are missing something that proves this car to be so high in price, perhaps we may need to see it in person?</description>

		<description>On the other hand, is the Mitsubishi Evolution X just going to be a bargain in comparison?

		<description>The options aren&#039;t for us besides the premium stereo, right? Who wants all that other stuff? But still $35,000 base seems pricey.</description>

		<description>Madcapp,
The quality of a vehicle isn&#039;t based on whomever buys it.  By your logic an STi is garbage because ricers drive it.  My point was how overpriced the 135 is not how good of a car it is.   Point still stands the Corvette completely outclasses the 135 for the same coin.</description>

		<description>Well frylock, its good to look at other alternitaves, but the Corvette is a pile of garbage...it was always the mid life crisis car for baby boomers. You still see fat old men driving them all the time. The last time there was a Corvette worth buying, it had a inline 6. That&#039;s been quite a few decades ago.</description>
