has anyone had any experience with this?
i recently emailed BMW on the possibility on bringing the 1 hatch to the states. and they replied...

The 1 Series is not being offered in the hatchback version in the U.S. just yet. Please be advised that a non-U.S. specification vehicle does not comply with United States specifications and must be imported as described below.

just yet, implying that they do plan on bring it sometime soon. but that soon could be months to years from now.
i have heard stories of people importing them from mexico.
how was your experience with dealing with DOT and EPA?
how was your experience with an ICI and a RI? expense? difficulty in finding one?
what was the added cost to the vehicle?
i need a new car buy the end of the summer. i'm leaning towards a GTI right now, actually have one lined up to buy. but the 1 series hatch has been the car of my affection for a long time, and if at all possible i'd like to get one.
oh, would you recommend i get the GTI now, then trade that in for a 1 hatch if and when they do become available?
thanks.
