Nice photo. Illustrates the point quite clearly that times have changed. What once was a small, economical, shy import trying to find its way in the American marketplace has now become the 500 pound gorilla, the dominant player in its class.

It boils down to whether or not you believe that:

a. BMW has built a smaller version of the 3 Series to satisfy that niche in the 1 Series.

b. BMW has laden the F30 with enough customization to satisfy the sporty needs of those who also require more space.

But either way, you're either a 1 guy or a 3 guy or you take your toys and go play in another sandbox.
