Love my 135
 Just received my 135.  It's the best car I've driven.  I drove a wide range of cars ranging at all different price points up to over $100k.  For $40k though, you can have one great performance car.  I'd say the sports package is a must have.  The iDrive takes some practice to get used to.  The brakes are just amazing on the 1!  60 to 0 length is on par with far more exotic cars.  Oh and one more thing, I think this car looks WAY better in person compared to photos.
