I love my 135i.
Since the OP asked for other cars to try: 370Z, WRX STI (most like the Audi due to 4WD, poor gas mileage), Mustang GT (ferociously fast, miserable ride with track package, large footprint), Camaro V8 (large footprint without the harsh ride). OP probably needs a manual transmission, which is easily available in all the above, right out of dealer stock.

My friend is looking at getting an STI, so we're going test driving all weekend. I'm going to look at the STI, EVO, G35X, newer A4, hopefully they'll have a new S4, and the 135i. Funny the only car that isn't AWD is the 135i... I have never been the driver of anything but Subaru and the S4, it makes me want to experiment. Having said that, I would be kicking myself if I had it this winter with so much snow falling in Mass, but I think I would be able to manage. It just won't be the beast the S4 is in the snow. |

repairs, then just do some shopping and possibly find an 08 that is BMW certified, or lease. As far as dealing with the bad weather goes it all depends on what will happen to your job if you can't make it to work. Is it acceptable for you to call out of work, any car can get stuck in the snow at some point. You will likely have an easier time with EVO/STI/Audi for that reason alone but even then enough snow makes clearance an Issue. I have a job where it is unacceptable to miss any time for any reason short of death or inpatient hospitalization. That's why I have a 4wheel drive beater that gets me to where I am going those handful of times per year, also my 135i stays nice and clean/shiny in the garage waiting for that sunny day Good Luck |

Yeah, that's the thing I can always just call in if the weather is bad enough. Yesterday I was one if the few that made it to work. With the quattro s4 i can go anywhere.
And I don't have a family, mortgage, school loans. Just rent and the basics. |
