Same here, going back to the E30.

When it was finally time to replace my E36 I found that the E90 was just way too big.

I felt that way when I test drove the F30.

The E82 has the correct, compact dimensions you'd expect/want from a sports sedan.

RWD + dual clutch + tuneable, easy decision.

I had a BMW service advisor (no less) tell me the 128i does not have the same engine as a E90 328i (6-cyl inline that is)
