I got the urge for a small RWD coupe after spending a weekend with a 128. Good, fun car (feels much more agile than the 135), but at least 300 pounds overweight. I've been waiting for the FT-86 ever since.

i found a 128i ( no turbo ) for about 87k AED ( the currency here ) thats about 23-24k, this price range i the uae is considered pretty affordable because people get paid more so its reasonable, im pretty sure they will increase the price of the toyota to match its competition here since NO ONE buys the genesis coupe or the evos, i think it will be priced about 35-40k dollars here which is the same as the BMW 135i.
cars here got weird pricing different from other countries, and thats weird cause there is no tax here =/
if i had to choose, id honestly choose the BMW cause its more luxurious and doesnt attract as much attention as the FT-86.
[EDIT] the hatch 1 series here is such an epic fail here in the uae and you can get it for REALLY REALLY cheap cause no body wants to buy it, same thing goes for every hatch except the golf and the scirocco. they like big cars here, or sport cars like porches and ferraris. oh and lexus IS
