I tested both the 128 & 135 a few times before deciding to go for the 128.

My heart said get the 135 but my head said get a 128.

I figured the extra $8000 needed for the 135 would be better spent appreciating in a savings account rather than depreciating on my driveway.

Anyway, almost 7000 km's later I realised that it IS everything I need for my daily drive.

It's quick, handles nicely, looks fantastic, has reasonable comfort & gives reasonable economy.

The 135 looks nicer, handles better (if you go for a 128 get the sport package unlike me!) & those extra 70 bhp are nothing compared to shove in the back the extra torque gives you.

The only thing for me is that both seem to lack the extra driver involvement that I had in my previous daily driver but many, many others here will disagree with me on this last point.
