It kinda looks like Japan got a hold of a 3 series and decided to superdeform it.

Those who enthusiastic about finally being able to afford the badge, not the car the badge.

Nothing prestigious or desirable about that car. Should have made it a MINI.

Look at this car in action..The chassis, the driving dynamics.. Hartge already has packages for it.. The 335 motor in this 1 series will be just as amazing..
