Default 318ti....poor man's BMW?

Newbie here and I caught wind from a local BMW repair shop mechanic who suggested the 318ti is considered the poor man's BMW.

I was not offended by this since he went on to give analogies about how BMW only had the 318ti for a short run, much like the Pontiac Fiero line. Ultimately, he said it was just a run that did not have the demand to keep the 318 series going.

Just thought I'd get some feedback from other 318ti owners. The cost of mechanical work sure does not appear to be a "poor man's bmw" considering oil changes, paint and various tune ups are still up there!
