Actually, looking at the data more closely, it appears that it was mainly the "affordability" score (ie. list price) that influenced the placement of the 135i. Take list price out of the equation, and the 135i finished 3rd behind the Lotus Elise SC (1st) and Porsche 911 Carrera PDK (2nd), and only just ahead of the Clio 197 (4th).
