BMW 1-Series Coupe US Pricing Released

[HeilSvenska]

I really like this car, but the price is fairly steep. The free maintenance thing should help, but options cost so much on BMWs.

128i MSRP $29,375
135i MSRP $35,675

Just as a comparison
328i $36,075


I guess the only car would ever be considered a "rival" would be the Audi A3, which is only offered in the Sportback form in the US.

A3 2.0T $26,705
A3 3.2 Quattro $35,690

My question is, how much is BMW willing to charge for a tii version?
*Gah. I hate these smileys!
