If the 135i wasn't seemly riddled with fuel pump issues I would consider one. They don’t look nearly as bad as so many think in person (photos don't do the car justice). Plus you get that awesome / under-rated 300hp/300ft-lb tq inline 6 bi turbo that gives you effortless acceleration from 1200rpms to redline. My choice would be black, tinted windows and then I’d look into suspension modifications to fix the stock under steer and then off with the stock run flats. But I would probably spend a little more on 335i sedan.

Then get one, fix the issues that may arise and drive that sucker fast.

I'm not going to spend 40k on a brand new car just to void my 6yr/100k extended warranty by attempting to fix fuel pump issues on my own on a German made car. Yes I could take it in for warranty repair but that's a pain in the *** and hence one of the reasons for why I haven't bought one. Hopefully, BMW has or is working on fixing the issues and if they do it will be on in my top 3-4.

Alright. Sounds good. Whatever you want to do.
