I'll need to make my own mind up during a test drive but you can only tell so much from half an hour with a car. I'd appreciate the views of people who have lived with one for a while - does it grow on you over time or are you already getting bored?
I'm currently driving an M140i and so would really appreciate any thoughts from people who've made the same transition that I'd be making. I'm sure that I would miss the sound and power delivery of the B58 but I appreciate they're very different cars, each with their own pros and cons. The fact that the M135i isn't a 3.0 litre 6 cylinder RWD isn't a deal breaker for me - life goes on.
Cheers.

The F40 M135i lacks top end power. The low and mid range is really punchy though. I would think the F20 M135i and M140i had better top end power though due to the added displacement of the 3litre engine.
Drive ability wise is pretty good for a 2litre 4 pot.
