If, within the vast menu of the new-car market, you prefer your automotive calories "straight up," the 2012 1 Series is your machine. Front engine, rear-wheel drive, fully independent suspension and enough options to skew your order either "luxe" (leather) or "loud" (BMW performance exhaust), the 1 Series presents itself as completely appropriate to your automotive aspirations, and no one else’s.
The 1 Series, in either Coupe or Convertible guise, is about as simple in spec as an automotive purchase can get. That won’t, however, mask its cost of engineering, manufacture and transportation to the U.S. In short, if "driving dynamic" means little or nothing to you, you’ll probably find a better transportation alternative at an Acura, Audi or (even) VW showroom.
