Used BMW 128 for sale near Des Moines, IA

My rexent experience met Lexus standards. They continue to be the gold standard for dealership customer service. They always return my calls and take the time to provide options when requested. First call all the way

I have had convertibles since 1975. 68 Camaro, 76 Jeep CJ5, 92 Chrysler LeBaron GTS, 96 BMW 328iC, 06 Pontiac Solstice and now the 12 BMW 128i. Retired in 2017 and had to feed the desire for another convertible in 2019 and the 128i ticked all the boxes for my current desires. Fit and reliability. At 6'1" I don't fit into a MX5, so that's the 1st two check offs. RWD, so no Audi, A4 FWD in my price range. Six cylinder preferably straight 6 for perfect engine balance. Nissan 350/370 are ugly chops. Then the exotics(shut up Porsche boys) were too expensive for repairs. I learned "basic" repairs on the E36. I have done many easy maintenance jobs in my garage that allows me to have this Touring car. As a touring car having a back seat is great for a cooler, backpack, and doggy space. With the trunk space (2X) of MX5 this makes a great touring car for weeks on the road. 230hp for a car this small is great for ripping through the Rockies and the Twisted Sisters outside of Fredericksburg of Texas.

Great experience! TC & Brianna are the best. No pressure. No sales, just serving you while you shop.

Bought my 128i with 50,000 miles 3 years ago and it has needed very little attention. Basic maintenance and not any major problems. Had a z3 and this is every bit as fun to drive. For a 13 year old vehicle I get many people commenting on the looks and they think it is much newer. I think BMW is going to regret doing away with the inline 6 engine eventually. Super reliable engine that is only used in their upper end vehicles and the high performance M models now days. The turbocharger engines are impressive performing but you just don't get the reliability of them that are non turbo. Unless you are looking for more horsepower don't go turbocharger. They are expensive to maintain and turbos wear out premature opposed to non turbo engines. The 128i is the perfect amount of horsepower to size and weight for the majority of people. It is a shame that it was discontinued. If you find a well maintained one you can't go wrong. Ask any mechanic about turbo engine reliability and they will side with any car without a turbo!!

Very friendly and professional Explained everything in detail and never felt pushy Nice experience thanks

This car has been a ton of fun to own. I searched far and wide to find a 128i couple in dark gray, with navigation. Patience paid off and I found the one I currently own several months later, and it has been an absolute showstopper. I am constantly getting compliments on this car, even though it is now seven years old. It is aging very gracefully and has not been hard to maintain. Highly recommend.

Nice folks and fair prices. Helped me find the right car for my nephew a nice f150 truck very transparent no bull

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.

The 1 series is so in demand and delivers pure adrenaline and value. Highly recommend if you can find it! Perfect handling and easy to do anything in.

Auto Paddock is a breath of fresh air in the car-shopping space. It's casual, relaxed and personal -- very much like dealing with a private-party -- but it has the inventory, information and facilities of a dealership, all without any pressure or sales xx. Some big plusses of Auto Paddock: * very cool, knowledgeable, straightforward owners * nice inventory with many rarer-spec, enthusiast cars * reasonable prices better than the competition for similar models * low-stress vibe Since they're local to me, I visited them 3 times as I was considering a 911 they had for sale. Initially, the car wasn't ready because they had just gotten it in. The tires were too worn to do a proper test-drive but Sheldon (one of the owners) was completely accommodating and let me check it out on the lot. He also went over the things they found during intake of the car and outlined the maintenance they planned to perform to bring it up to spec. When it was ready, Sheldon let me test-drive the car on two different occasions because he wanted to have the PDK recalibrated (shifting was a little wonky on the first drive). He never displayed any pushiness or expectations, even letting me test-drive alone which allowed me to get a good feel for the car. It was almost like being with a fellow enthusiast at Cars and Coffee that was planning to sell their car and we were just hanging out trying to determine if this was the right fit. I really loved the car and was very close to buying it. But during the time it was receiving PDK recalibration, another 911 came along of a similar spec but rarer color combo with lower mileage. So I ultimately bought that one instead. But because of the excellent experience I had with Sheldon, I was torn and it was difficult to pass on their 911. I would highly recommend Auto Paddock. Sheldon and Tony (F & I person) were excellent to deal with. And although I didn't end up buying their 911, I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them in the future, perhaps on a trade or maybe if they get in an F80 M3 that I like. Go check them out because they're awesome and have really differentiated themselves in the car-buying space.

This car is truly amazing. Powerful and loud classic BMW 6-cylinder engine, drives and handles like no other car on the road. VALUE VALUE VALUE!

This car is very amazing and so in love to drive it! Still learning some features of my new BMW X3 2017. I would recomend the BMW car to my daugjter.

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

Purchased a very reasonably priced Mercedes 2016 GLE. Vehicle was as advertised. Did a quick test drive. The paperwork was quick and there wasn't any hassle with extra warranties or insurance. VERY good purchase experience. Definitely recommend!!!!

The vehicle was advertised accurately. Naples Auto Group was easy and honest to deal with. Most of the dialogue was over the phone...and the purchase was smooth. five stars to the dealer and I would definitely recommend anyone to purchase a car with this dealer.

This car is a dream car ! It is perfect for women as well as men with minimal but modern interior and intricate exterior. It has 3.0 engine with 6 cylinders which make it an excellent companion on the highway. The horse power is 230 which suits well those who are up for some fun rides !

Haven't purchased from A&G (yet); however I did message them about a vehicle and Angela gave me a reasonably quick call back. My discussion with her was to the point and without high pressure. I inquired if there were pictures of specific areas of the car, and Angela willingly captured and sent them to me via text messaging. From that brief experience with A&G, they seem like good folks.

I have driven a stick-shift all my life, but this tops the experience. I chose it because of the small size and total visibility all around. The stability is exceptional. Being a German car, it doesn't provide much storage, but that was expected. Main problem is distance for dealerships because I live near NOTHING.

I had very limited time to pick out a car. I was looking for something reliable with low mileage that would last me awhile. With gas prices being super high, a car that was good on gas would be an added bonus for my wallet. After doing some research on Kelley Blue Book, Clinton Motor Cars showed up with a 2010 Toyota Corolla that had 68k miles in an elegant gray color. I reached out to Ryan and was able to go take the car for a test drive on the next day. We drove an hour and a half from Cape Cod to their shop because their prices were unmatched in our area for what we wanted. My partner was hesitant to go through a dealership because of their reputation, but the guys at Clinton Motor Cars changed his perspective. Ryan and Tony were able to answer all of our questions and make the car buying experience better then we ever could have imagined. They found us a payment plan that worked for us even when it seemed impossible. They made us feel welcome, taken care of and they even hooked us up with their insurance guy who gave me a quote almost 2k less a year then the competitors. Its been one week since that test drive. My car is sitting in my driveway. It was registered, insured, and inspected all before leaving the lot! I will definitely be referring all family and friends in search of a car to Clinton Motor Cars. Thank you Ryan & Tony!!

By far the best dealership I have ever dealt with! I got a fair deal and aa beautiful car to go with the deal! LOL. Beautiful dealership and an amazing inventory! A hidden gem.

Was connected directly to the Seller and got all of my questions answered. Will continue to stay in touch as I prepare to make a purchase offer. DLF

I bought the car with 50,000 miles and so far in 1 1/2 years of in town driving only regular maintenance has been required. I believe that the original owner was good on maintenance.

Nick, my salesperson was great Answered all my questions and even arranged transportation for my purchase. Also help negotiate my buy price.

The 128i convertible is beautiful black and black interior. Lot of fun driving well balanced. Unfortunately it is expensive to fix when something breaks. And watch the car in hot fL i have gone through 3 tops the back window starts to separate from the top otherwise it is a great car

Salesperson was friendly and knowledgeable. Great experience. Definitely recommend. I will go there again. Car was exactly what I was looking for. I am happy with my purchase.

Bought a previously owned 2013 128i back in 2016 and loved it so much that now I am fortunate enough to own a second 2013 128i. One has 103k miles, the other 36k. They are spectacular fun cars to drive, hydraulic steering, NA engine...

Just bought the cutest little vw beetle soft top. Tom was great to work with pleasant, knowledgeable and alot of fun. Joe was my co pilot on my test drive he was great too. I felt so comfortable with both. Great experience would recommend this dealership to all, in fact already have.

Contact was made quickly. Though the car was still available, I wasn’t. They still reached out and asked me to contact them when I’m ready.

This car meets all of my needs. It's my first BMW and I'm very happy with it. The looks and the performance are second to none in its class.

Honestly I am 65 years old bought 40 vehicles in my life it was one of the most pleasurable experiences I'm 65 but 40 vehicles in my life and this was a very straightforward enjoyment in my life to buy a vehicle from them I've ever had with buying a vehicle the people were great honest I don't believe they would rip anybody off and I would highly recommend they have nice vehicles all price ranges I go there first

I bought a 2012 128i used, and I’ve loved every drive in it. Smooth inline six, flat through my local roundabouts with the Sport suspension, and reasonably comfortable on city streets. Great looking in Deep Sea Blue metallic.
