I actually enjoy the JCW more and more as the 128i nostalgia wears off. It also doesn't hurt that we picked up an '04 Boxster to play with .

Unfortunately, we're probably out of the BMW market unless they actually release a 2 series grand coupe or come to their senses and shrink the 3 back down.
I've thought the same thing recently about the price of the 135. It seems crazy that the cost of a new 135 similar to mine has increased over $4,500, but I guess that's just how the economy fluctuates over time. I was going to suggest searching for a used 128 with 6MT, though it looks like you guys already filled that gap with the Boxster, which is also a very fun ride.
