So they get a 1M.  |
This price difference between the 135i vs 128i was huge > 6K from my experience of buying in the DC metro area in the spring of 2010. And that's comparing a 128i with at least a sports package to a 135i. I just couldn't find a stripper 135i manual, they all had a ton of options.
On another note, I'm amazed at all the 135i owner in this thread making sure we know the n55/n54 is the more entertaining drive (yes it is!), but the title of the thread and it's location seem to directed towards 128i owners. People have very different ownership goals and means to those goals: some just lease, some want a reliable 10yrs of ownership, some want a track car, some want a cheap track car, .. etc. I think this thread was meant to explore that from someone who has bought a 128i.
