They're both great cars. I'd do either.
QFT. I do drive a 1, but I could feel the 200lb difference personally, but the outside dimensions where even more of a concern. I also figured more performance parts would be available for the 1er long run, as more people would use them for club racing. Seems to be holding true thus far, with TC Kline working on some serious parts, along with Berk and a few others.
