The 128i auto runs 0-60 6.7
The 128i manual runs 0-60 6.1

No one is trying to upset you or make you not continue the discussion...
I mean, both are great cars...this though is a bmw 1 series forum and it kind of seemed at first that you were tyring to compare...
$4.15 for 93 would be a welcome...I was talking about $4 for 91....
The Si with the 11:1 is going to ring in at 6.3 but the 128 doesn't even have a turbo on it...and for arguments sake, comes in at 6.7 you are talking apples and oranges for less than half a second...
at the end of the day, if buying the Si and modifying it to claim it can over take a german car built for overall perfection is what makes you happy...by all means...
I will concede your Si can overtake my 128i with a difference of .4 of a sec....
I am thrilled I have the ultimate driving machine!
: )
now lets back to talking about the fact that not just BMW but all import makers are hinting at twin turbos and yes, I read an article that it is not for power but efficency
