The most perfect car I ever owned was a 2000 323Ci, and the only reason I prefer it is the full sized spare mounted on the same alloy wheel that was on the car. Those days are gone.
Aside from the spare tire, both 135i's drive like the 323Ci except for more power and torque and an extra gear. The 2007 335i drove very well but was just too big for me. It's size was more like the 5 series back in 2000. I have a friend who is awaiting European delivery on a 2012 128i after owning a E 36 sedan. He also felt that the 1 series drives more like his E 36 than the current 3 series.

Very good info, thanks. My biggest choice, as it probably is for all 1 buyers, is 128 vs. 135. I'm leaning 128 this time. Hopefully my dealer will have one of each to drive in, no matter what options are on the cars, then I'll order what I want as I did with the 3.
