The thread you posted is in regard to the 135 not the 128.. A car which has ample power with its 'troublesome' turbo(s). Obviously, a lot more than the 128. Its an easy car to enjoy the power within its stock parameters.
As usual your reading comprehension is a bit lacking. I'm aware that thread is about the 135i and not the 128i. Notice how I said "A timely thread in which 135i owners discuss how they often like the stock tune more". How thick can you be?

Lets compare specs:

E36 M3 vs E82 128i
3219lbs vs 3197lbs
240hp vs 230hp
6800rpm vs 7000rpm
5MT vs 6MT

Yup, we still come to the same conclusion. You have no clue what you are talking about. 128i is almost exactly a modern production E36 M3.

Like hell I can't. You, nor any car manufacturer will force me into a car with electric steering, turbos, or any variety of automatic. I'll "suffer" through with the 997 GT3, Cayman S/R, E46 M3, and others.

Whatever makes you feel better. It's pretty clear you measure your worth as a car enthusiast by your horsepower figure, and feel threatened when someone doesn't care. If one silly side comment managed to work you up this much, lookout for the crazy.
