So I totally get the "too much car for her" comment.

Also, while I agree that this vehicle is priced way too close to the M version and the M version will probably be discounted and this one won't - this is still a classy vehicle to own and very very rare. If you have the means.....

Completely agree with you. I bought my wife a 135i with the DCT transmission. I am starting to think she would have much preferred the regular automatic transmission. For city driving, it can get annoying.
