I've narrowed it down to the following 2 cars.
Bmw 128i Sport package, Premium package, Sound package
orrr a used 2010 328i coup, with Nav, Sport, auto with paddles, 4k Km's (sorry im from canada, i do not know how many miles that is)

What do you guys think?
Lucky you.

328i M-sport

EDIT:
I see you went with the 128i.
BTW, I don't see xenons.
Make sure to get xenons. They are a MUST have, especially in the dimly lit winters up north.

I can't believe BMW puts xenons as part of a "convenience package".
That's not a convenience.
Meanwhile, a digital compass rear view, and garage door opener are part of the ever expensive "premium pkg".
I'd gladly trade the compass rear view and garage opener for xenons any day.
The mirror and garage opener are more "convenience" than xenons, which I'd consider "high performance safety" feature.

I agree with your dad, 300hp is too much for you at this point.
The 128/328 will give you plenty of safe performance without letting you get into trouble as quickly.

Keep it safe junior.
And, do something incredibly nice for your grandparents.
