I have commitment issues. I like to lease my vehicles because I am a mechanical "special person", and there were enough "problems" with the early N54-equipped cars (albeit, not necessarily tied to the engine itself) that I would be a little leery of one from a long term viewpoint.

I think you're correct that the 135is uses the N54--but that would be my 3rd E82, and I want something that looks different at this point. Love the E92 (335is), but I had two of those in the early days and they are just too big for me...

I am obviously high-maintenance.
