The funny thing for me.. the C8 Corvette is the reason I bought a 135i.
My closest friend sold his old 340 Duster and placed an order for a C8.. he is one of my very few friends who is a true racing fan. We've competed on the track, carts, gone to F1 GP races together, etc. We have a world-class road course nearby and he wants to shred... My F10d despite its endless power is not a track toy (it's a highway bomber) and would be one helluva project to make it somewhat compliant for track use. I can't let him drag me up to the track without a toy, so I went looking for something fun and agile, that I didn't have to unload my other vehicles to justify. Inline-6 turbo, RWD, DCT and Brembos for $13k?
I'm going to break his heart when he can't disappear me from his rear view mirror.. that will be $25k well spent.
Yeah, it's one helluva car, but the 135i is hard to beat smiles/mile OR smiles/$

Its a future classic right of the bat, especially with hybrid and electric being around the corner
