128i Buyer - Questions

Hi everyone,
I've been reading posts for awhile but this is my first post. I currently own a 2005 MINI Cooper S and love it. When I saw the specs and info on the 128i, I was blown away! It seems like the closest thing to a 2002 in a long time and should be an even better track car than my MINI. I'll have to drive it first to be sure!
Anyway, here are some questions for everyone out there:
1. Has anyone seen an photos of the 128i? I know it may not have all of the body kit that the 135i will, which is OK. I just want to see a photo of it to see how different it will be from the 135i.
2. My wife and I will be doing Euro delivery for sure, so we can tour Europe and so I can finally drive the Ring for real. What months are the best for weather in Germany? I want to give us the best chance of good weather at the Ring.
3. Based on what I've seen on the forum so far, I'm guessing that a 128i with the M sport pack will run around 30k MSRP. I want a stripped car with no premium pack, idrive or other such nonsense. I HATE the start button so I may have to get the convenience pack just to get rid of putting the stupid fob into the dash. Anyway, does around 30k sound right? After Euro delivery, the price should be around 28k, which is not much more than I paid for my MINI. The 128i should be a hot seller!

I'm looking forward to September, when we can get more solid info on what's coming. Thanks!
