Also - sounds like Coral Red interier is popular - must admit it just looks fantastic. you guys also seem to all have sunroof ... did any of you think about deleting/foregoing just in case you ever wanted to turn this into serious track car? perhaps its the 80/20 rule where 80% of time its a rapid commuter and 20% just a bit of fun on track - therefore sunroof is ok ?!

It would be in your best interest to get the performance upgrade retrofitted. The 135i is really fast, you probably won't be able to tell if you got the extra 20hp or not until unless you were already used to the stock speed - not that bmw would rip you off anyway. It would just give allow for you to appreciate the extra power. Just my 5 cents.
