I own a 2016 astra Biturbo elite with loads of extras, intellilux lights (auto main beam, bends lights around corners - fantastic xenon lights), electric folding wing mirrors , lane departure warning, parking sensors front and back, parks itself, heated steering wheel, heated seats front and back, touch screen display, Colision warning device, rear camera, side sensors to help you see cars in blind spot and then 160bhp. What a car it is - like sitting in an aeroplane with it wrapping around you keeping you safe on a long journey.I have friends who own a 1 series m sport - it does not have any of the above and it is sparse in comparison and smaller in space inside. Would I pay more to get the badge - no chance.The astra is British built and the quality is much higher than bmw. Try using the hands free device on the bmw and the astra - the astra is far superior. People are being conned by buying german - they are not always the highest quality - look at others you will be surprised what is available from other manufacturers.
