The problem is people say they won't use the extra power, but its not just about the peak power but the extra torque and the power curve. The 135i has TONS of useable power all throughout the rev band, torque down low and a decent high end at least till 6k. Thats what the boost gives you and why I think most prefer it over the NA 128i. I remember driving a 328i loaner and I felt like i wasn't driving a bmw, especially cause of the engine. Now, the f30 328i with that new turbo four, it felt similar in power to my car and it felt in the same league. When they have the turbo 4 for the 2 series I think that will actually be a comparison to the n55/n54 as the torque curves are similar.
