Getting to know it.

It has the m sport package so it comes with sport suspension and lowered, m bumper, paddle shifters and m steering wheel, sports seats. It is what I hoped for really. Great fun to drive and the kids enjoy it! Win all around.

It's classic BMW

This is car is a fun sporty car that can be driven around everyday or have some fun at the track. It is a pleasure to drive. The 128 is MUCH more reliable than the 135. The 128 has the N52 engine which has plenty of power and just will not die. I have 78k on mine and I haven't had any mechanical issues. If you take care of it this is great car. Styling is beautiful classy and aggressive. This car is a future classic. The last time BMW made thier iconic inline 6 engine naturally aspirated. It also handles like a dream and in the summer time with the roof off flying through corners it surely is an experience

Fun & reliable

12 yrs old now & I've had it for 9 yrs. Never winter driven. Still on original battery. Only 1 "repair" in 9 yrs. Brakes & tires are normal maintenance, not repairs. Still looks brand new. Run flats long gone. Love my manual trans but even the automatics are fun. Highly recommend this car but always get car inspected beforehand. Also, join BMWCCA.

Fun, reliable, and excellent for the summer.

excellent vehicle in almost every regard. The manual transmission is top tier and paired with the inline 6 cylinder, this light, compact vehicle makes for a wonder driving experience.
