I think the 1 's will hit a brick wall very soon.
I was ready to get a 135i , but the finacing rates and the Leasing rates Are insane right now, like payments in the range of a 550i or new m3, and that is with serious change down and awesome credit rating ( 760 +). Ended up with 535i and I think I'm much happier right now .
BMW is only intrested in selling them to people that have the cash in hand. Even if you go to a bank the rates are still really bad. Same thing happened with the A3 when they first came out. The X6 start at 53K ... that is alot of green for a small X5.

Sales for the 5 er are off due to the economy. I know of past members here who leased a cheaper car when there lease was up.
