2012 BMW 128 consumer reviews

This car had low mileage compared to all other similar cars I had seen when shopping. It is in perfect condition, no scratches, no rock chips, and interior is nearly flawless. Runs great, all new tires.... best used car I have purchased.

This is an extremely reliable car. It is very sporty. A bit faster than the 328I i owned before this one. The ride is very smooth for a sport suspension. I go ofer speed bumps at 20 miles per hour, and i don't feel a thing! The inside is uncluttered. everything you need nothing you don't. The blue tooth hands free phone is really convenient. For a convertible, there really isn't much road noise. The best part: this car is absolutely beautiful too look at.

This car has been very reliable, fun to drive and even has a back seat when needed. Beautiful classic black pearl exterior and tan leather interior to compliment the styling of this 128i. Great pep from the in-line 6 has get up and gone!

This car is really fun to drive with a great HP/pound ratio that makes this car very fast. It offer a good compromise while pretty sporty offer enough cargo storage and also enough room to sit 4 people but not for a long trip. The handling is superb.

This was bought in place of my motorcycle, safer and more protective. It has been a great car, no remorse

I recently purchased this certified pre-owned BMW with low miles. I love the style and comfort and almost always keep the top down. This car has quick acceleration and lets me zip around town. I get lots of compliments and everyone wants to ride with me. Great car to have.

This car is in great condition. It drives very good and is easy to handle.. It has been taken care of.. It is stored for the cold months. This is a convertible, red and tan leather seats..

I got the car mainly because it had very low miles, about 9000, it is certified, and it was a good value. I also own a 2008 328 I, and there are some noticeable differences between the two vehicles. Of course, the 328i sedan is roomier, but I knew that from the start. No issue there. What I found out, is that first of all the quality and fit and finish of the interior are of lower quality in the 128i. Ok, that is fine, too, the 128i being a cheaper car from the start. What is surprising is the difference in engine and handling. They are both supposed to have the same engine, but as the 128i has a nicer start up sound, and slightly better acceleration at lower end rpm's, (no lag so noticeable in the 328i), the 328i (with sport package - and there is quite a difference between 328i's with and those without sport package) has overall better acceleration. Put both cars in a drag race, the 328i albeit heavier and with the same kind of engine and horsepower will smoke the 128i. (Both cars, like I said, are equipped with sport package, 128i actually has M sport package.) Is this due to the understatement of horsepower by BMW in their best selling car? Maybe... Second, with the same kind of engine again, the 328i, heavier, gets better mileage. 26 combined, vs 24 for the 128. (Come on, the 128 does not drop to 14 like some reviewer said...). And finally, handling, they're pretty close, but even with the M sport package, my 2012 128i is not as tight as my sport package 328i. This latter is very tight, to the point that at lower speeds, it feels like a work out to steer the car, but I love that steering when you actually drive the car fast through corners. There, it handles much better and more securely than the 128i. So, again, if you're looking for a compact, sports car, with lots of pep and good handling, and also with good gas mileage, then you might feel let down with the 128.

bought my 2012 BMW 128i about a year ago .... love the exterior "compact", "smart" styling which looks awesome from every angle. extremely fun car to drive ... tight handling, whisper quick acceleration, and i get 30+MPG on long highway travel. almost 13,000 miles on it and no mechanical issues at all . i plan to have this one for a long time!

We got the 128 after a 2008 135. Wow, what a difference! The 128 gets terrible gas mileage (20 vs 26 for the 135) and it has dog performance with regard to handling and acceleration. I wish I had driven the car before ordering it because it would have been a no go. I never knew a 50 year old women could be a performance snob.
