It all depends on the level of performance you're looking for, and whether it's worth the additional $4600 (or more) to get the turbocharged engine. All I can say is we enjoy the hell out of our 128 convertible, she's happy with the power level, and in the end, that's all that really counts.
No no, that was 128i Coupe to 128i Vert. My point was that the soft top adds a significant amount of weight over the coupe.

335i Coupe is heavier than the 128i Vert by a decent amount.
