For similar price I can get an F30 328i in Sport trim. The F30 has a nicer interior, and obviously but more spacious.

I'm sure the M135i is a great car and brilliant to drive - which is why I placed the order. But thinking whether the 328i will be a better long term purchase given much nicer interior, more spaciousness, and in my opinion better looks too.
Actually, you can get a 328i M Sport, with the M brakes, leather, and 18" wheels for a little less than the M135i! Have you test driven the 328i yet? I'm in the same situation, but will probably stick with the M135i. Heard from somewhere the next "real" 1 series M car will have a 4 cylinder engine under its hood, if I settle for a car with only 4 cylinders, it would be for that!
