Can one cross over to Mexico illegally and purchase one and drive it up here? Is that possible… the purchasing in Mexico and driving it up…!

i saw a black five door with a bmw of manhattan license plate frame. i believe it had regular ny plates – non diplomat. no rear badging but it did have projector headlights. very nice looking. too bad they will only offer the “niche” vehicles – coupe and convertible, it’s a shame.

Probably another supplier. In the Detroit area were a few of them in the past

I saw a 1- Series 5 door on the Mass Pike just outside of Boston last week, couldn’t beleive my eyes. It had a blue on white plate but it was going in the opposite direction so I couldn’t read the fine print so to speak. Too bad they are not (yet?) available state side.

A friend of mine is having one too. Much more practical than the Coupé. Yes we’re in Europe! :)

I’ve seen a white one in Venice, CA. I hope the next 1-series hatch makes it to the States, but I also hope it will be a more appealing version.

Same with this one. The car is registered in Mexico. I asked the person that took the photo

I am starting to see them more in California, but everyone I’ve seen has had Mexican plates.

I had the pleasure of riding in a friend’s 1 series in Austria, and it was such a neat little city car! I do wish they’d market it in the US.

Seems all too often in the US, luxury and quality is associated with BIG. But there’s at least some number of us who would still like a well-engineered vehicle that’s more appropriate for “big city living.”

It could be a car from mexico, i’ve seen the hatch back in the states before and it was from Mexico – you can tell from the plates which we can’t see.

It feels funny , since here in Romania ( it’s in Europe if you ever wondered :) ) these are like 90% of the series 1 you see everyday . And in US you make a post and hunt them . Like i said , it’s funny .
