Thanks to the tipoff from our bud Lucca I decided to peruse the BMWUSA.com website where you can now configure and build the new 128i and 135i cars.

Much to my chagrin after pricing one out with the options I would buy (see below), it only ended up being $3945 less than a 335i sedan!

$42k for a semi-loaded 135i seems way too much for a 1-Series and too close to the pricing of a 3-Series.

As good as the 135i is, based on these numbers, I would go right to the 335i sedan.

Do you agree?
