We drove a brand new 328 loaner from the dealership when we were getting our protectant applied, and it was like night and day. No sport seats, automatic transition, average pickup. I will never recommend anyone pass up sport seats. The comfort level is indisputable.

When we got back into our 128, we could immediately see how incredibly well balanced the 1er's are, and how valuable the sport suspension and seats are to the overall experience. There's almost no comparison. I am confident that that 1er series is going to become the gem of BMW, and between the 128 and the 135, you can't go wrong either way.
