This comparison is dumb dumb dumb dumb
The 1 competes with the G really. Yes the 1 was supposed to be a more focused sports car, like the older 3 series were, but in actuality there is very little difference
If you can't tell the differences between a Z and 1 in terms of where each model is more focused on a simple test drive, you are going to be lost in stats and magazine reviews forever.
The Z is much more alive in terms of how the car feels. Everything in the 1 is smooth, where the Z is still much more rugged.
If you prefer the more raw sports car feel you buy the Z. If you want refinement from the engine to the cabin, you buy the Bimmer.
It is rumored there will be a much more focused 1 coming out with an M variant that will focus on light weight nimble sports car driving dynamics. Let's wait for that to compare the two.
This is like the Z vs EVO debate. It's so fing easy to tell the difference between these cars and it all comes down to what you prefer.
Until there is another 30k very focused two door sport coupe on the market, the Z is pretty much unrivaled. Sorry, the Genesis doesn't count.
