First generation BMW 1-Series experiences
 

Thinking of getting one for my wife.

The size is right and prices for the first generation are pretty reasonable. In Japan we can get the hatchback with four doors.
They come with a 1.6, 1.8 or a 2 liter four cylinder.

I really want the M Sport spec. as it has stiffer suspension, bigger wheels and most importantly sport seats.

So, does anyone have experience with these?
