What blew you away about the 135?

Because it was the convertible w/ 3 people in the car and it still felt quicker than the X. I can only imagine what the 135 coupe feels like with just me in it. Oh and don't get me started on quality and feel compared to the X. U can get a 135i at 35k. A X can range from 32k-44k if you actually pay msrp. But a lot of people on here seem to hate BMW status. Me, I'm more dollar for dollar whats the best car I can get.

CTSV?

If I were smart I would pay off my IX and then build a new house.

LoL, shouldnt take long for the evos to fall apart. Just a matter of how many times you want to put it back together.

No plans to get rid of my Evo, besides maybe a X, which is doubtful, there is no other single car I'd rather drive on a daily basis. I may pick up another S2000 in a few years just to use as a fun summer weekend car though.
