Inflation Sucks
I'd take a 128i.. Keep it naturally aspirated as to not spoil the symphony that is the BMW Inline 6. Twin turbos are for those who need compensating

There ain't nothing sweeter than the sound of a BMW inline 6 eagerly climbing to red line.

We hear that a lot from behind us when we're in the Vette.

Of course you do but your glass slipper is a little more money than a 128I Yet it lacks some of the sophistication and touring manners of a 530(inline 6 cars). Yet there is nothing like the sound of a well tuned properly set up American V8
It is a different car built for a different propose just as the mini and smart differ. Don't mean to start a flame war but we each have our likes for our time of life. An ex corvette owner

db, I understand completely. I sort of did things backwards, owned small displacement, high revving cars in the 70s (including two 2002s) and then moved on to V8 American cars in the 90s after GM got it's act together with the Camaro and the Corvette. It's all good and I'll check out the 1 series when they hit our local BMW dealers.

Hey, my car is on the same ship. My dealer told me to expect delivery (barring unexpected delays) in April. WOOT!

Yeah, a Porsche's flat 6 (and nothing beats the shriek of a Ferrari in my book)

Just kidding around, we are pretty old school bimmer fans too ;)
