Default BMW 1 series

I'm sure some of you guys already knew about this, but I just found out today on the BMW North America web site. Does anyone know when exactly these will be available in dealerships? And what's the MSRP, and how much of a markup should I expect
They're saying 230-horsepower for the 128i and the 135i gets a twin-turbo 3.0 with 300 horses

What you guys think? Yay or Nay

It looks pretty clean....but got to wait to see it in person. I'm afraid that the car might look a bit squished. But I'm all for the TT engine in the smaller car.

I think the rear tail lights could use some improvement but the thing will be an absolute blast to drive. I do think BMW puts the weight higher than it is. I think they measure with a driver.

Yea that's the only thing I'm worried about I missed the LA Auto show this year for the first time in 4 years, was this there?

THe 135 should be called the M1. It's going to be blazing fast.

Seriously! I was thinking what can they possibly do to make an M1 after releasing a regular 1 series with 300hp
