I laugh to myself everyday while cruising 100+mph thinking about people who say the 135 is "unstable at high speeds" Either A: you're car suspension is fucked up and you need to take it to the dealer immediately or B You're other car is a Porsche GT2

I traded in my 2007 328i E92 for the 135i convertible. I was looking for a convertible with more power... and was not up for the price tag of the 335 convertible.

I can't comment on the alleged high speed issue, but I can comment on the steering and handling of the 135. The steering and handling of the E92 is spot on. The 135, not so much. It took a good 2 weeks to get accustomed to the feel of it. And yes, during that time I was questioning my move to the 1-series.

Currently at the 3-month mark with the 135 and I love it, with no regrets. I enjoy having a convertible again, I love the engine, and it's actually more comfortable for me than the E92.

Don't know how many there are--but I went from an E92 328i to the 135.

Very glad I did too.
