Default Good news 128i (BMW 128i vs. VW R32)
The BMW 128i is still a good choice even if you don't buy a 135i.

Last time I was out at Sebring I was chasing an R32 around the track, he couldn't lose me. He would pull away on the straights, but I would quickly reel him back in once he couldn't take advantage of all the extra power. Judging by the cars ride height and body roll I would say he was on a pretty stock suspension, so it really isn't a fair comparison, but I thought those cars would be quicker around the track.

R32s are quite heavy as well.
