I think that the 1 series will be the next BMW cult cars, the de-contented ones, at least. After the E36's, BMW's got too heavy, too electronic, too focused on creature comforts, and too complicated for DIY guys to work on. BMW could make another ti like car, but they won't because there would not be enough profit margin in it, and the public probably wouldn't buy it anyway (sound familiar?).
