Wow, people are really getting worked up with this whole weight issue on this forum. All I know from my limited experience with different cars is that lighter cars are more tossable obviously and in general "more fun". My two current drive curb weights are roughly 2600lb (Integra) and 3200lb (328i) and that's a difference you can feel.
But the Integra is a '95 and cars today have more content, more safety equipment, and in general are built more solidly. That's what customers want and you pay the price, literally and in terms of weight. A 3000lb 128i would be ideal but if it's a couple hundred pounds more, I'll live with it knowing that it's a rock-solid BMW that will last for years.
