I like bimmers, don't get me wrong. But yeah, I sat in the 1-series at the LA Auto Show, and I had an average-height man get in the driver's seat ahead of me and adjust the seat to his liking. When he was finished, my feet were trapped, and my knees were almost in my chest (I'm 6'2" 180#). That, plus the weight of the car, plus the looks of the car in person, plus the price, plus the lack of personal gravitation to the car, totally changed my mind, and turned off my "need" for a 135i (though I still like the car).

The same day, I checked out the 370Z, and had the opposite reaction. Instant "me wanty".
