FYI -- a base 135i is $35k; add just a few options and you've got a $40k+ car. Unless a 17 or 18-year-old is a trust fund baby and/or his/her mommy and daddy buy this Bimmer for them, it's still an expensive car that most younger drivers will not be able to afford on part-time Starbucks wages. After all, it's not a $22k Honda Civic you know; it's still a BMW.
