I know through the BMW military buying program here in Germany though they have locked in pricing right around 40K.... makes me think about it. It .4 seconds faster than the 135 in the 1/4 and achieves .97g on the skid pad compared to the 135i of .91g and if you spend an extra 900 like that you could def be in the 12s... seems nice.
