Hey, Moe! · 04-08-09, 05:03

The 128 was my original pick. The 135 is tempting, but it does poke over my cost ceiling. I busted my butt to get out of debt after I got divorced six years ago, and I don't want to go back there.

I'm not into the boy-racer scene, and I have no plans to track it. I just want to enjoy taking the "long way" to get somewhere, something I never had time to do before, and enjoy myself while doing it.

BMW's four-year, cover-almost-everything plan is inviting. I had a pleasant experience with the BMW dealer I visited last fall.

My girlfriend (a truly fine person) keeps telling me to go for the BMW, because I have always wanted one, and because I have worked numerous 60-70 hour work weeks to beat down the financial demons in the last handful of years.

The 1-Series, when ordered with the Sport Package, includes run-flat tires. Anyone want to comment there?
