^ I see what you are saying it's 2 different things I am talking about.

On the one hand the M3 is larger (more room = more useful for some). the M3 has nicer features, leather, stereo (option), DCT, CF-leather trim, CF roof, nicer wheels, tires, LSD, much nicer to look at and nicer street cred or cachet or curb appeal.

Those things add up to why the M3 is more costly by far just like the M6 would be over a M3.

the question comes from is the 135i more 'fun' which can be a question hard to say. I drove a McLaren SLR and while it was fast and exotic looking it was not 'fun' to toss around. It was like driving a boat with big tires and a big engine. I'm sure with time I could get an idea of what to expect and how to drive such a car but on the surface it was a non-fun car (for me). Likely as size and price goes down the cars are 'easier' to drive so people can push them and have fun.
