My question is, will I be unhappy with the 135i considering it's on the small side and is not offered with AWD (I live in the snow belt with some pretty treacherous roads).

My other choices are the 335xi sedan (which I hate the looks of, I'm sorry) and the 335xi coupe, which looks great, has great power, is a great size (IMO) but costs around $45k.

I have a car fund going and figure I will have about $20k-$25k to put down after I sell my 325xi. My plan is to finance for three years and I could swing the e92, but then I keep coming back to the 135i. :headbang:

I dunno, I guess I have time to decide but it's a little frustrating. If the damn e90 wasn't so fugly I'd settle on the 335xi sedan and be done with it.

I'd go with a 1-series plus a winter beater with AWD. :biggrin:
