But whats wrong with a sports car having power seats and bluetooth?

The journalist was intimating that for $6000 less, one could do just fine with 230hp and add some bells/whistles.
Personally, I loved - LOVED - the 135. That engine is one for the ages. But for the cost, I want some creature comforts, and I simply couldn't stretch to 40K. I ended up test driving the 128i and found it had plenty of power and acceleration - plus it was an automatic, so I know the 6MT will perform even better. I already have a barebones 66 Mustang Fastback, so while I'll happily drive that un-air-conditioned beast in the summer heat for the thrill of the V-8, I was willing to sacrifice the hp for the sake of some goodies on the 128.
