I just dont see the point in having a smaller car just because its smaller, nor do I want to drive car that's physically small, yet not light by comparison with similarly sized cars. My 3er is small enough in a world of SUVs and semis. If i'm going to buy something smaller, it better have something else it brings to the table. And the 135i doesn't.

200 pounds is significant, but it's not mind altering. Do you drive your 335is with 1 passenger and say "damn my car is a pig"? No.
