Nice oner

Interested to hear how you feel about the 135 after a few months of ownership. I went from a 335 to a 128 (albeit with a few years in between) and haven't looked back, and you seemed pretty sold on staying NA. I hope it works out for you.

And huge shame about the 128. I'm glad my son is only six, haha. I'm hoping I can make our old V70 last until he's driving age. Perfect teenager car.

My wife wanted me to look at the 335.....and I did briefly....too big more of a GT car.

We have a 2011 N52 528 that I do enjoy but it is not sporty. Love the ZF 8 speed....

Will be interesting!!!

Wonder if you'd feel the same way if you went from a 135 to a 328?

Pulling up an old thread to reminisce...

Just an update....

Still driving the 128i Sport. I'll never sell it.

Added a Porsche Cayman 2.9 Base manual to the fleet.

Son the wrecked my Ti Koral car is a true gear head...works, mods and enjoys cars.

We had him a used X5 N52 that a guy turned left in front of and totalled.

With the settlement he got a used LR4 HSE that he put nearly 100000 miles on.

He got himself a great job selling,designing and project management high end home theatre and home automation systems and bought used S7....what a beast.

Sold it when he got offered a deal on a Range Rover Autobiography fully loaded that he couldn't pass up.

Nothing like 80% depreciation on a car that stickered at over $180000 new to tempt someone. But his LR4 experience make him think he can deal with this.

Time flies when you are having fun!!!
