I'm relatively young and impulsive which sucks.. Admitting it is the first step to recovery.
Now for how much it will cost. With a down payment the 135is will come out to about half what I make a year. Should I not even be looking at it?
I realize this isn't a financial advisers forum, but I'm just looking for opinions. I'm not sure how much you all make a year but you seem to be happy with your purchases.
One of the dumb things about the 128i is in order to get Xenon lighting you need the premium package. Where as the 135i/is you can get those separately. Or am I wrong on that?
Thanks for any advice/opinions. Also apologies if I should have just created a new thread for this.

I am young (20) and impulsive as well haha. I bought a 2010 135i and it is slightly below half of what I make a year, but I bought it anyways because that is what i worked hard for! Sometimes, life is too short to give up on something you love! I financed the car for a 5 year period and people will give me shit for this, but I would rather pay small payments monthly than deplete my cash every month.
128i is a hell of a car, you can enjoy that car on the streets more than a 135i because you won't have a massive amount of hp/tq to get you in trouble everytime you floor it. And it feels much lighter to throw around as well. Xenon's come as standard equipment on the 135i. Hope this helps!
