The best utilitarian, pound for pound, dollar for dollar, car BMW makes and they don't bring it to North America. I refuse to buy a GTI/ or any other hatch back/FWD.
Hence why i also refuse to buy anything new from BMW. I'll stick with my E46's for now. BMW you SUCK for not bring this 4 door hatch here. The M2 is gonna be judgement day for me...or GT350/R here i come.

Let's just hope they've improved the interior finish and materials as well in the post-LCI version. The current model was quite bad in this respect (your average Golf/ Audi A3 were better made, had softer/slightly rubbery plastics which were much nicer to the touch, more comfortable seats especially in the back and were quieter inside when on the move).
The LCI truly makes the 1er look more grown up and serious, and finally the front lights aren't as laughable as before. Even thought the rears weren't that bad, I find the new ones to be much nicer. Can't wait to hear from the first owners of the revised 1er what's the experience with driving the car and improvements to the cabin. If BMW decided to bring the quality level up a notch or two, they have a winner.

I think the pre facelift 1 series has pretty good quality feel in the interior, and that it is rather quiet. In my work, I drive similar size cars of various brands, and they are all inferior, except for the Audi/VW, which are also very good at this. The BMW handles better, though!

I don't want BMW to overdo the interior stuff, as I want BMW to be the more sporty premium brand. The cars are already rather heavy. Trying to beat Audi on noise levels and interior feel would add another 50 kg. I would prefer if they kept the level acceptable, and got rid of 50 kg.

I sometimes work in the factories where they make stuff like dashboards for German premium cars. They do not consist of plastic. There are multiple layers of metal, glue and rubber and a rather complex process involved in making them, with various flaming and coating. And they are heavy.

Ordered a F21 135i in EB ,due in Nov to replace my ageing 335i. Used to have an E46 M3 but pure M cars just too much cash here the in UK.135i seems to give best value for BHP.
