There you go! Only options I will get is comfort access and the ipod option. All the other doo-hickies will distract me from what I want to do and that's going fast.

I think that you are overstating things just a bit. I'm sorry, but don't agree that true driving enthusiasts are only those that track their cars. And just because someone tracks a car with a sunroof doesn't mean that they can't have an enjoyable experience. You might not win, but if you're not competing for money then I don't see that as such a big deal. Obviously YMMV. |

Even if there a little overstating going on..there is one clear point. BMW has a reputation for driving excellence and they option their cars that way. They know who their core audience is. Sure you see Integras and other cars on tracks and what not but do they have the track record that BMW has? Most do not.
Can we change the name of this thread? lol |

Personally if the parent company's success 'on-track' is important then I'd be looking at a Porsche --- oh wait, I am, but I really want a better value, hence the BMW 135i. Someone will always be able to say theirs is <insert superlative here>. ; -) YMMV

I would love a Cayman S, but a 135i seems like a better value to me. |

I am somewhat like you. Why pay for sunroof to reduce rigidity? I am not a die hard enthusiast or do not spend time on the track, but like it simple. Anyway, my guess is $33,900 for 135 and $27,800 for 128. That's probably as high as I can go for a car virtually no practicality. The information should come out soon (I hope). |

I am a client advisor and gearhead, track junky, and 3rd on the waiting list for a 135. I took care of my clients first. We DO NOT mark up our cars or play the games MSRP is MSRP. Spoke to our rep last week No Indication as to price so I am in the same guessing game

I just can't see BMW putting the price in the high 30's and running the risk of biting into 3 series territory. ...but I have been wrong about things BMW has done in the past.

Couldn't agree more. People who care about their car's track repuation, unless they are serious racers, are misguided. It's a road car. The only opinion that matters is that of the person who writes the check and drives the damn thing. Anything else is hype or futile acamedic debate.
