Keep the 128i!
Hi, I have a 2008 BMW 128i in Jet Black, sport suspension, upgraded speakers, 18s with non-run flats, tinted, that's about it. I love the motor and transmission and the newer versions are going to be the turbo 4 (I think). They may get better mileage, but the smoothness and flexibility of the 6 is wonderful. I have never regretted getting the 128 over the 135, except for the after market is much better for the 135. I don't have enough money to drop a lot of performance parts anyway, so...
Also in BC Canada, the speeding fines are extremely nasty. You can only go so fast on the street anyway. If you want a track car, then a 135 would be better.
The stock sport suspension is pretty harsh - too much compression dampening. I am positive that if you got a good brand of suspension, the ride would be better, the handling would be better and you would be pleased with the results. If you could spring for a 1M, then all of my points fly out the door!
Have fun making a decision.
Dave
