You keep talking about all these cars out there that are faster than the 128i, and I don't deny it - but you seem to ignore just how many cars there are on the roads that are slower. I would say probably 75% of the cars I encounter are slower, and many of the faster cars are being driven sedately. You can read magazines and think everyone is driving a Veyron, or you can look around and see that most people are cruising around in Accords, Corollas, Fusions, etc. So, in the context of real world driving (not lining up against other cars or racing on the highway) I often find that I've got more than enough power available to me to confidently merge, pass, etc. You don't have to find that credible, but I'm driving my car every day, not you.
