I'm curious to read your impression about the 128i vs the RX-8. I don't especially see the 128i as an upgrade compared to an RX-8. The straight six definitely has more torque and sounds better (in my opinion) but the RX-8 has one of the best chassis money can buy and is pretty refined all together. and in my opinion the shifter of the RX-8 is a bit better. I love my 128i and I choose it above a 2010 RX-8 mainly because I am not too found of the rotary engine for a daily driver (back when I bought the 128i I had 32 miles commute in heavy traffic) and I hate black interiors, which was the ONLY choice for the Mazda in 2010 but it was a close call...
