The 128i won't be $35K, but the 135i will be at least that much and probably more. At ~ $30K the 128i will be BMW's new entry level vehicle, while the 135i is aimed more at enthusiasts willing to pay the price of admission. Based upon what we've seen for Europe the base model of the 135i will be the M Sport.
