you know whats funny....this guy says its easy to get in and out of yet it looks like he cant get low enough to fit through the door

[Carscom]

good catch ;)

It was actually because of the mic pack in my back pocket. Kept getting caught on the seat belt.

[omarnafoosi1989]

i love it!

[tubegangsta]

Well the reason for that is the front seat is always reserved for the hot chick that comes standard with BMW.

I have wanted a BMW sense i was little (:

@ZafiraVXR1 You also pay about 33% more for the same car, and pay way more for gas, mostly because of your lame-ass government.

[6UNLEASHED]

The 128i fits the bill just right and performs just as good as any other BMW, the extra 2 turbos, with me, would definitely revoke my license and probably get me into trouble...Id say a lightly used 128i with options makes a fine choice and worth keeping since BMW might yank them in years to come.

@beeeneee Because in US you need a 300HP car to drive.... 60MPH :D

IMO if someone drives slowly, wanna hava a good car and don't need a lot of HP he buys 116i, 318i, 520i, 730d etc.

[Kev50027]

The 128i actually has a larger engine than the 135i, not smaller. The turbo is what makes the difference.

[ZafiraVXR1]

@beeeneee  Heyy, you guys only get two models,whereas, we in England get a whole load more and we get the hatchback. So how great is it now...

[beeeneee]

great that the 128i is the 'basic' model in the us. in europe you have to see such underpowered cars as the 116i or 116d etc.

@clubkid29 agreed, its so much better doing it manually rather that automatic...actually anything manual is better than automatic! except manual windows they're a pain

[Bulgdoom]

128 doesnt have a smaller 6 cylinder engine, it has the same sized I6 without the turbos. And the 135 isnt rough at all, unless you're used to riding in Maybachs

[Mrguill]

@beamerman25 it does
