2008 BMW 128 consumer reviews

The 1 series looks good but only from certain angles, when looking at it from the side it does not look so good and it should have wider rims and tires, it only has 28,000 miles and the engine already make a loud ticking noise, it is still under warranty so I'm taking it in to get it checked and hopefuly not have to pay out of pocket to get it fixed but one never knows, warrantys are tricky, the interior is okay, I do like the performance of the car, reliability I'm not sure since the engine is already making noises. In my opinion I woould say average.

Purchased from a private seller which is what I always do. Even tho car almost 3 yrs old, car looks new to me. 128 much better than 135 especially reliability and cost to maintain. Heck, I don't need twin turbos. BMW's are great fun especially if you learn to do simple things yourself. Join BMWCCA.

Left the world of large sedans behind me for a 128i Convertible. Love the design - I have a growing respect for the house of BMW - the inline 6 cylinder never gets old. Now we're havin fun! Fits my lifestyle, easy to park, not too heavy on gas. Perhaps I should have looked at a BMW sooner.

I had to say that I was skeptical when I was shopping for my next car. I was looking at 335's and G37's until a dealer had me test drive a 135...which as it turns out was as fast as my E46 M3. And, surprise, it felt very roomy inside and was a pure coupe, which I liked. In fact, I liked the interior more than the 3 series. So, one day I test drive the 128 and I realized that it's fun to drive, without extra insurance hassles that the turbo's got me. So, it's not a cheap out or bottom dweller. It's a very sporty, yet affordable, bimmer. It's built better than regular cars, has rear wheel drive spirit, and is a true coupe, meaning the platform is made for what it is, not to be shared among several different vehicles. I've grown accustomed to the exterior design and coworkers love its look. Of course, this is a bimmer, so all the toys you get from other manufacturers cost extra but I look at it this way, those toys are masking cheapo-front wheel drive or a bad ride. The underlying car is strong. And the engine is strong throughout most of its power band, although you can get caught below 2000RPM in second gear at times. It handles well and has the computer on board to help you out if you get too aggressive. Get the sport package. One regret is not getting the comfort access package and the cold weather package. I love the cheap manual seats, they fit my upper body better than the electrics.

Two fuel pumps later the car is very unreliable. The car has a nice look. It is very bad in the snow.

like driving a go-kart. great mileage lots of smiles per mile, lovin it like the styling ,ample room for everyone even the back seat on short trips. no cost maintenance, what more can you ask for

Wow, very nicely done. Excellent front room for even the largest person. Auto is not designed for adults in rear. Very quick, tight, well put together. Advise the leatherette vs. leather, no one will ever know and it wears forever.

This convertable matched our list of needs: looks nice, luggage room, back seat is enough for us, fast, handles quickly, good reputation behind it, had all the bells and whistles.
