> How come you didnt opt for the 135i?

I was originally planning on it when I went to look at the 1 series. The base price on the 135i was $35k. That’s with no options what so ever, not even leather interior. Base price on the 128i was $29K. This price gave me more room to work with options. I got this one with Sport package, Premium Package, Comfort Access, iDrive/Navigation, Xenon headlights, Coral Red Boston Leather Interior, ect…, for $42K, when it was all said and done. Relatively speaking the 135i in the same trim would have ran up to or close to $50k. Plus my insurance would have been $700 more a year. I gave up the twin turbo model, but this car holds it’s own when it come to performance. I love the way it performs so far.
