A decade is a lot of years of safety extras and whatnot added to make the car heavy. I popped the trunk and underneath the platform was a really large battery (sitting askew oddly enough), which I assume is for the regenerative braking system -- that's probably about 100lbs+ in itself. I love how polarizing the design of the 1 is, it's a love-it or hate-it car. :) Personally I REALLY like it, but can wait to buy a lease-return next year. I was hoping to have made a decision Saturday and drive out with a 1 or a 328i, but the 3 didn't excite me and I'm not quite ready to bring home another 2-door as I already have a coupe. Damn my practicality.
