Light, rear-wheel drive, cheap to run and even mod, mechanically “simple” (relative to today’s BMW electronics), even slightly overspected.
Fun little car.

Exactly why I had four 1-series since 2008 (E82, E81, F20 pre-facelift, F20 facelift). Switched to a G20 3-series when the 1-series went FWD, and soon it will be all electrical and qualities like “fun”, “light” and “simple” will be a thing of the past. We adapt and move on.
