Took delivery on Friday
Got a M135 for the wifey. She loves it and now I have a little toy for the weekends. I have a 435 and I must say, the m135 definitely packs a punch and is value for money...

Our F20 116i M-Sport is hard to bring out of balance. It doesn't want to neither understeer nor oversteer. When one tyre goes over the limit, the three other tyre are very close to follow. It is either rolling nicely along, or drifting over all four (quickly running out of power).
Also on ice, where even the 116i is overpowered, it does not snap sideways unless it is very clearly provoked. |

In general, lighter cars are more fun to drive than heavier cars.
Older cars are more fun to drive than newer cars. Unfortunately, new and heavy cars are more practical, so most of us end up with them anyway. |

It sounds like you now have the best of both worlds, Looks with power (4) and fun with power (1)
I think there will be a regular request of 'honey can I borrow your 135i, I just need to go down to the hardware store (the hatch is very practical). |
