I know the 1LE will be on another level as far as power and track prowess but I'm curious if any of your guys traded in sports sedans/coupes for the 1LE and how you found the daily driving characteristics. Presumably we'll be trading in the Malibu around the same time for a family/trip car but since we both work I'd like to make sure we have 2 cars that go on trips if need be.

Awesome, another BMW convert! I had a 2013 328i M-Sport, with Dinan Stage 1, a bunch of M Performance parts (suspension, brakes, exhaust), and upgraded wheels and tires (Michelin PSS). Mine was my daily driver and track car, and my 1LE is performing the same duty without any issue. I do miss my back seat, but only about once a month when the need comes up. Other than that, I am super happy with the change.
