Been reading and got to jump in. Am glad now I did get the 128iMSport, and love it. I did get the ATrans due to my wife needing to use it occasionally, and I have a Z4si for other things. The ATrans in manual mode is really a stitch to drive--and the Msport suspension, wheel combo just "works". Its got all the power I need here, takes the Missouri twisties just great and not some of the other related 135 issues at the time, mind you. The 135 is super--but two years ago it was not price--but the issues most were having with them. Drove a 135 loaner this past week for some hours, and came back and was actually glad to get back into my 128Msport--I thot it odd actually. No sour grapes--it was torquey but the 128 felt right at home. This one truely is one of the most chuckable little cars I have driven. Would do this car and its options again in a heartbeat.
