The new BMW 1 Series is initially offered as a five-door only, so for our comparison we used the A3 Sportback.
But which one sells better? The situation is extremely complicated because both cars are selling well almost similar.
In Germany, in the first five months of 2011, Audi sold 21.441 A3’s, while BMW succeeded to sell 21.791 1-series. But now BMW has a new generation 1 Series.
