The thread got a bit off track
The spec sheet says you are looking at a 135i coupe (previous model 1er interior) so it is not a F20/F21 and you reference the F30 328i as an option.
Many have voiced their differing opinions of the engines, design styles and interiors etc so to put it in a simple format
The real consideration is if you are going to keep and then sell the car in Germany or take it back to the USA later and want to buy a great BMW.
If you are only going to use the car whilst you are there in Germany go for the best of both worlds and buy a F20 M135i 5 door.
It has more sting and better handling than a 328i and a similar looking interior (be it slightly smaller).
You get the sheer driving pleasure when you have it to yourself, and the wife is happy with the 5 door hatch.
There are some brilliant roads around Europe to drive a M135i on. If price is a factor go for the 125M Sport.
If you intend to take the car back to the USA, consider a 328i or wait until the 235i or M2 comes out.
