My wife’s pug takes umbrage that the iconic face of he and his breedmates, be usurped to describe something as awkward in appearance as the 1-Series.

And ‘Holy Depreciation Bankster.’ The prior lessee of this car was likely sheltered from the true cost of the lease, as BMW probably figured a higher residual value. But imagine the shock that the yuppie who purchased their 1 will have that after 3 years that a dealer will only offer 35-40% of the purchase price on a trade.

No argument from me.

You can shout me down if you wish. But IMHO, most BMWs look a bit puggish.

Some designers can make the kidneys work, some can’t.

I once owned a E21 318 (with the single headlights) and loved the look. The E46 and the F10 both have a handsome smile. But the E30 (one of which I also owned)…well, it had a face like a French Bulldog, and you had to learn to love it.
