I am finding the beemers lower specc'd?? looking round for a 1 series coupe at the moment and it seems really difficult to find well specc'd cars.

Have to agree that the ride in the bm is smoother than the A3 but found they feel less planted and also seemed a good deal smaller than the A3, 100% true that every drug dealer and wannabe bad boy seems to be driving an Audi nower days.
