The 1-series is an "old" model everywhere but here. BMW can't really help it that they released these cars in the US far after doing so in Europe.
I drive w123 mercedes diesels, because they last forever. I recently bought a diesel coupe, which has a total of only around 8800 made, worldwide as I recall (perhaps 8800 sold in the US). This makes parts for a lot of things VERY difficult to get.
A 1-series, while a great car, is not a porsche or M3. It may not becme collectible, but just be a great car that has a following, like my w123 300CD, but with ever more expensive and hard to find parts...
