Indeed jophish, thx for properly grasping what I was saying.
The 1-series is indeed entry level for BMW (until it moves to the 2-series and the new 1-series becomes FWD). It was actually a complement, that even at their entry level model BMW has not cut corners.
I had a (Year 1 of 1) 135i, and now a 1///M, and can tell you that I have seen improvements in the cabin from 2008 to 2011 (not speaking about the alcantara/Kyalami orange stitching which is unique to the 1M, but more about the overall quality of plastics, which are now softer and of higher caliber). Even after 3 yrs my 135i never developed creaks, and so far the 1M has been top notch as well.
