I like it, but would definitely rather be driving a 335ci. Still, it's a pretty decent value, and a lot of motor in that little car. As to comparing the N/A 128i to the 135i, not even in the same league. The 3.0 motor has adeqaute power, but won't make you grin like the 135/335i will. If I was looking at a 128 or 328i, I'd shift my attention to the A4 2.0T S-Line and put software in it.
