Mac, the 'real mini Cooper' is still being made. (last I knew, at least) We cannot get it because of safety regs.
That really ticks me off!
That figures.
In Mex and china you can buy a dirt ball car that we can't have either, but that idea is just fine for everyone but the USA. Tell me how does that work anyway?
One of these days i gotta hunt down a few dead sun beaten 60's and 70's vehicals to restore, because ain't none of this new stuff floatin' my stick.
How about a REAL BMW 3-series. One that emphasizes light weight with a silky smooth engine and comes with a fantastic suspension, brakes and a REAL manual transmission. You know the cars BMW used to build before they got all yuppified.

the 1-series pretty much picks up where the 3-series left off.

Maybe in spirit, but not in actuality. A 1-series is only about 200 pounds lighter then an equivalent 3-series, which isn't saying much when the 3's are pushing 3,500+ pounds these days.
When I talk light weight, I want sub 3k pounds, more like 2,800. BMW is now more concerned with status, image and electronic gimmicks then they are about the visceral driving experience.
