I'm not some 18 year old snot-nosed kid who has never done anything in my life and comes to car forums to dream about someday being able to afford one. I'm a grown man son. The 1 series is the least expensive car BMW makes so it is CHEAP for a BMW. And for people like me who have done things in life (you don't have to be a millionaire to feel $40,000 isn't an expensive car) it's a cheap car overall. I'm not a snob for saying that, I'm just at a different place in my life than you are. Maybe you'll get there one day and maybe you won't. Some people never grow out of the street racer/ricer/need for speed phase you're still in. Money has nothing to do with mentality. If you knew who you were talking to you'd be surprised.
