I guess some obvious and other not-so obvious stuff:
1. Wanted a new car (bought new BMW)
2. Its an 11 year old car that she bought new and drove for 184K miles
3. Repair costs for cat.
4. Needs 4 seater now (although 128i barely qualifies!)
hope that helps
As for me, a two-seater wouldn't work for my family.
