Yes, that's true... but even here in SA the 130i's performance has been less than what was expected - even a 330i has posted quicker acceleration times by the same testers. This confounds me...

I know that you're a big fan of the car and I certainly wouldn't criticise you for buying the thing: it is a great drivers car, no doubt. It's just that you and I have different tastes based on a different set of needs and values.
