I can pony up to anything...and as BMW enthusiast, I chose and love my 128. This forum is heavily biased toward the 135. Most of us 128 owners have found a safe haven in the 128 engine section. Read the regrets thread: plenty of 128 owners that are completely satisfied with their choice and I am sure that a majority of owners could have ponied up for a 135, and some couldn't: who cares. A 135 owner who comes in to our 'safe haven' and trashes on our beloved 128 is bound to get negative comments. Would you expect anything else? The HPFP issue is
real and I am glad I don't have to worry about it.
PS. I love my 318Ti too.. it corners better than my 128.
