I couldnt figure out why n54 3er drivers were freaing out that the little 1 series had its engine. But this is actually the first time in recent memory that a lower series has shared every engine with the series above it. The 5 never got the 7's V12, the 3 never got the 5's V8. I like the idea of an available 135i to strengthen the performance aspect of the brand.

With that in mind, I don't think it'll cost more than 38k, but we might be surprised as to how close it is.
I agree with you, I think the reason BMW did spread the engine throughout the entire line is because they are probably just as amazed by at is we are. It truly is a great engine, definetely one of the best on the entire car market out today, right up there with midengined porsche flat 6's
