Has there ever been a road test of a 128i (non vert)

would love to see some numbers on the 128i. love to compare acceleration and handling figures w/ the 135i.

I believe Car and driver had the 328i at 0-60 somewhere between 5.9-6.1 seconds. If a 128i can do 5.7, that would be fast enought for me.

Does slightly lighter weight help in handling.

Yes, but not as much as an actual roof does.

Yeah, we all know lighter weight helps, but its not that much lighter and has smaller tires. Be interesting to see the difference in numbers and subjective feel from the 135i
