Thanks... turns out i couldn't wait until the morning, so i took it for a quick drive. hits 100 no problem, and is so smooth. the 6MT feels great, much better than the auto i test drove.

that's one thing i've been struggling with over the past 6 weeks since i orded was 'should i have gotten the 135'. but honestly, i think the 135i has more power than i really need. i had an '05 3.0i X5, so here i'm driving a car with the same power but 60% of the weight. and i received enough speeding tickets with the X5.
another thing is i'm looking to buy a house this summer, so paying a couple hundred less a month means i can get that much of a nicer house. |

JT - and others with 128 MT's: There have been a few comments by MT owners that the 1st-2nd shift is historically a sticky, less-than-smooth affair across most BMW models. What is your experience with your 128 MT? A smooth up-shift each time...or do you find you have to work the rpm/shift combo just right for a smooth transition?
