Yeah, fair comment Rob...both cars in std form would be very close. ( I kept catching and passing them at the BMW Barbagallo day, though I guess my STI isn't quite standard). The 135i is a lovely car (and looks nicer than a Betty) and would be right up on my my list, though an STI is a bit cheaper. ... But the new M3...superb!...the sound of the V8 under power is something else...but we are talking a bit more $'s.
