Bye bye 330d .. Hello 135i?

So changing my job has changed my work commute from 150 miles a day, to 2. That is not a typo. This nicely times up with changing the 330d touring (end of company car lease). The 330d is an incredibly capable car and more than Suited to both the long journeys and short trips, but I'm fancying something "different"

Checking prices today I can get into a M135i for less money than my 330d Touring, which is a little suppressing giving the BIK rating for the 135.

But my concern is general size and boot capacity; 360/1200 for the M135i against 495/1500 for the 330d Touring.

Has anyone gone from a 1 series to a 3 touring? Or the other way around ? How did you find the size difference? I like the "space" that the driver has ... Is there the same space in a 1 series ?

I've got a 4 day tester coming next weekend so I should be able to determine this myself, but I suspect I'll be playing too much with those 320 horses.
