So this is what 1-series is as I understand;
Cheapest BMW and it feels that way

But another comment, I rented an A3 for a few days lately; and wind noise was same if not worse. So I guess in this car segment if you want a premium feel and a silent ride, wait for the new A-class.
I do...
you assume the new A-class wont have the same problems
