I see a few of them here, but mainly because I work across the street from a
BMW dealership, so I see them coming off the car carriers.
Thay haven't sold too well here yet, mainly because they are more than
$5,000 more expensive than anything else in their class, and with less
interior space than cars like the Peugeot 206/Renault Clio/Toyota Yaris.
They do look good though, and from what I've heard are as fun to drive as
the original, if in a more modern swense of 'fun'.
Too bad BMW is being such a a*sehole about protecting the name from its
heritage.
