No guilt here. For me the 128 was a pretty strong value based on the attributes I wanted my joy car to have. I could have saved 5-7k on a Miata but it didn't meet my size requirements- even for a joy car. I'm semi-guilty of not trying out a Stang GT but I had a V6 convertible for a week in Maui so I knew pretty much what to expect with a lot more engine obviously but between the solid rear and the interior I was convinced it couldn't win me over with power. We do have strong pricing on our Bimmers compared to the rest of world and in my mind the 128 is very competitive for what it serves up- 135s are too. A bit less so now than when it debuted with a better stereo and sunroof for less $- but I like that they gave that option and am shocked that 135 buyers still can't opt out of it.
