Still, all of that said and off my chest I still want to buy a 135. Note: my current ride G35.

I was pleasantly surprised when I took a trip to a BMW dealer yesterday and found they had a couple of "vanilla" 328's. No metalic paint, nothing other than automatic. If you are trying to get in the line to grab the first few ones, they would be loaded, but if you wait for a while or order your own, I am sure you can get one close to the base price + destination charge. I was surprised that red ones were non existent. I am either going for non-metalic red or the blue one (I am not happy that Le Mans Blue is not offered).
