Agreed... and I haven't written the car off yet either... All I'm saying is that I had hoped the car would be lighter then it is. I guess I do have unrealistic expectations, given the hype that the 1-series would be some kind of recreation of the old 2002. We do live in different times now... Heck, the addition of the bumpers and other safety equipment to the 1974 added about 200lbs to the 2002 back then. I do have this "pie in the sky" dream of a 2+2 rwd coupe with globs of power for under $30K. The 1-series is the closest vehicle that meets those criteria, so I guess I shouldn't be complaining.
The 128 might be even lighter then the 135.... I'll take mine with the sunroof delete option :wink:
