This deal would require a 5k deposit though of course. So really the cost to change is £40 x 48 + £5,000 = £6920. Not so bad but not considering I've only had my car 17 months and I put a stupidly high deposit in of 10k in the first place!
I have been very close to pushing the button on this deal. However, I'm not feeling the excitement or that buzz to change to what is a model with the exact same options I have on my existing car. Therefore have got cold feet.
Also since fitting the m p exhaust on my 125i recently the exhaust note is much improved. All I really need is one of those M135i sound symposers!

The M135I is in another league, both from a handling and performance standpoint. Try negotiating a little more to get some more discount but quite frankly, a 125i M-sport does not deliver anything like the visceral thrill of driving an M135i.
I am soon going to face the same dilemma with the new M3. If the financials were of a similar relationship to yours, I wouldn't hesitate.
If cars are practical transport and nothing more then I agree that you're wasting money. If on the other hand they're your hobby and passion, then ask yourself if spending the money is worth the reward it brings in driving a far more exciting car for several years. Spending money on transport is a burden, spending it on your passion is life enriching
