LA is pothole city, so wear and tear is actually more important in this equation than even the gas. Driving the 135 through stop and go every day for 2-3 hours a day is going to cause issues with the car.

So yes, it makes sense.
No, it doesn't.

You're already at $140 month, add maintenance and the loss of time to buy, maintain and service another car for what, $50 a month and a shitty commute experience??

Just enjoy the 1er and be done with it IMHO.
