I have driven alot of Porsches, and all but the 968 were great, even the first 944. But due to maintenance cost, insurance, and overall buyin, I never bought one. I still think they are among the best engineered cars. That said, every BMW I have owned has always brought a smile to my face when I turned the key (or now, press the button). My 128 isn't blazingly fast, but with a bit of tweaking, it handles extremely well, is comfortable (just did a four hour drive in my dad's Jag... Ugh, seats suck!), and very unique. The brakes are amazing, and the manual transmission is the smoothest ever. The gadgets are plentiful, Bluetooth, Siruis, USB and ipod connectors... So, yeah, I think you will learn to love your BMW. The One really grows on yah, it takes a few weeks, then then it hits you, wow, this is a fun car!
