I need a strategy to get a 1-Series HATCHBACK

[aleather]

Hi folks, I live in the U.S. Does anyone have any advice on how I can get a 1-Series hatchback? I am happy to travel out of the country to get it ad bring it back, and it could be new or used. Anyone ever done this or heard of anyone who has? You can email me directly at bertleatherman at gmail dot com if you'd like. Thanks!

Virtually impossible since the BMW hasn't certified the hatchback. Maybe in a couple of years...

try mexico, tijuana for example. I have seen the car firsthand in San Diego with Mexican plates. I really didn't card much for the looks. I also believe mexico has a 16% tax, but you are paying in Pesos so it is still cheaper?

Amen bro. All I want is a 4door rwd hatch. with the 35i engine preferably but I dont think they sell this even in germany. 130i hatch is max. Maybe some day....

here is the strategy :

1. sell your house
2. move to europe
3. buy the car you want
4. live happily ever after

if any of the above is causing headaches then you should buy a car from the 650+ different types and models currently available in the US.

sorry but americans hate hatchbacks. don't be a black sheep, You have to hate it too.
