I came from a 135i as well and after blowing the water pump at 60k miles and being told that's to be expected I decided I couldn't afford maintaining that car when the pump and thermostat cost $600 and were very difficult to replace even with a lift. I do miss the torque peak at 1500rpm, I had just a tune and catless DPs and mids but that car was an absolute blast. With just those mods I was able to sit right next to a tuned 2013 5.0 that my buddy drove, definitely one of the more exciting cars for the money if you can find a nice one used.
