Let me throw in a poor man's list, in no particular order.
1. MINI Cooper S lightly equipped
2. VW GTI
3. 328i with sports pack and xenon, if they screw up the 1er pricing
4. 128i with sports pack and xenon, if they don't screw up the 1er pricing
5. 135i with no option, if they REALLY don't screw up the 1er pricing
6. G35 sedan 6MT
7. VW Passat 2.0T
if I turn out to be even more crazy about the upcoming little one than I think I will be.
