do you guys prefer the NA6 or TT4?
i've heard the NA6 in 128i is a gem, smooth and likes to rev, plus it's a NA so no turbo lag.
but the TT4 has better mileage, a lot more torque and slightly more hp. besides the 228i is a brand new model while the 128i is the outgoing one.
tl;dr: budget for 128i or 228i. whatcha guys think?

here's a trick: go to the BMW dealer and go drive a 328....same engine as the 228. i drove one and was bored out of my mind. it has 'good' power, but is boring as hell.....
if i were you, i'd get a 128. it's simple....it's REAL....and the fact that you're even considering it shows me that you care enough about the more 'pure' driving experience.
