I've the M135i with the N55 and it has the Bird's suspension upgrade package and the M Performance Exhaust...an LSD would be nice to have. Overall, I love it. Never fails to put a smile on my face.

Sounds like we have similar requirements for daily use / commute. It does have limitations on the practicality aspect but the seats go down so get around most situations. Also the wife has an X3 so that's the family wagon. I think when I change it, though it could be quite a bit down the road, I reckon it'll be for a 340i Touring. Wanted to check the hot hatch box having owed only bigger cars, 5's and 3's for short periods, since my 1st car, a MkI Focus 1.4l....no regrets in just over 6 months of ownership so far!!
