Gave in my car for service...

Dmitriy@AUTOcouture · 03-05-2009, 11:55 AM

and got a 128i loaner!!

The car is so awesome, it is so fast and nimble. The handling is simply amazing. I can't even imagine how fast the 135 might be compared to this thing.

The torque sucks (obviously coming from a 335) but up top its pretty decent... Such a fun little car.

I wish the lease programs weren't so terrible on it - I would get it for the lady (and steal it everyday

).

Really? You like the handling? I test drove the 135i and didn't like the handling at all. And the steering seems so loose?
