The GTI is softer compared to either car - hey, in a way the 128i is likely what you'd get if the GTI and RX8 somehow mated...with two fewer doors

Congrats, you'll love the 128.
That's what I'm expecting. The rx-8 was driving like a dream, except when it comes to gas mileage. I am hoping the handling on the 128 is closer to the rx8 than the GTI though.

Lol. I drive by there everyday. I saw a white 328 driving past me going westward. Was that you?

I'm getting nervous every time I drive by that intersection now. The kid who caused the accident with a blue van said he lives just one block away. I don't get how he could've mistaken it for a four way if he lives in the neighborhood. New driver, I suppose..

I work near by. I live in Markham. That street is my shortcut to bypass occasional finch traffic. Didn't work out too well on that unfortunate evening...

I remember that last couple of weeks before mine showed up. Nerve-wracking. You are gonna flat love this car!

I sent you a PM about your wheels. Will pick them up at your front door, or wherever you wish.

Great car

I recently bought a 2008 with the sports pkg and I love the car. I don't need 300hp and twin turbos. Some of these cars [135's] have been in & out of the dealer far too often. If you follow BMW news closely you'll find out that the value of 335's have dropped to almost 328 levels b/c the 335's are so expensive to maintain. Thats going to happen to 135's too. Price out a front brake job on a 135 compared to a 128 and don't be surprised to find it double. As they come off warranty, the 135's will not hold their value like a 128. AND, b/c you got the M pkg [hopefulyy w/6MT] your car will always be highly desireable. Since you're coming from a GTI, you're a car guy already. I always recommend joining both BMWCCC and BMWCCA. PS: get your winter tire pkg from the Tire Rack.

Thanks Noir. Yea.. love the car with the M Sport package. I'm currently leasing the car, but I might just buy the car back at the end of the lease and sell it for a better price.

I put on my performance spoiler yesterday. And I'm waiting for my Mtec Cosmo Blue for my angel eyes to come in the mail.
