I have yet to see a 1 series BMW on the road. I live in RI and travel on interstate 95 often. None in the malls, none on 95, none anywhere. Has the series been successful in meeting its projections? I think it is a very appealing package but I am single and have had a few BMWs in the past and liked them (although they were expensive to maintain--now not a consideration for the first years). I tend to keep my cars for at least 8 years. I would like to hear from some knowledgeable person that sales are going along as planned if that is the case.

I had a chance to drive a 135 convertible a few days ago. What a fantastic little car. Goes like a shot, comfortable, excellent handling. Best way to describe it is like a slightly less edgy and more comfortable e46 m3. *really* want one now.

Replying to: blueguydotcom (Jul 29, 2008 5:30 am) But it's worth noting that 3-series sales at  60,000 YTD are down 13% from 2007 and BMW's overall passenger CAR sales are down 8%. YTD. (And that doesn't factor in the nearly 20% drop in SAV (X3/X5) sales). I wouldn't assume that your dealer is feeling like (s)he's holding all the cards in negotiations just because the 1 is new and "hot" Your dealer still has to move metal to pay the rent/utilities. |

right here on edmunds. They give the 128i a great review. Full Test BMW 128i

Replying to: nyccarguy (Aug 06, 2008 6:35 pm) OT: The vehicle that really surprised me was the X6 35i- it was very quick and handled much better than such a big and heavy truck has a right to. Pointless but fun.

Replying to: roadburner (Aug 07, 2008 7:35 am) ?? But then you could get a 128i coupe for only $30k. If you find a CPO Cayman for $30k, please let me know. I think I may be able to talk the wife into that one.

I test drove a 128i with the Steptronic a few months ago. Nice package, but, like roadburner, I'd get the stick shift as well. If I kept the options to a minimum, I think a new one would retail for $30-32K. When the time comes for me - in a few years - to get a new ride, perhaps a CPO might fit the bill at, hopefully, $20-23K. |

I've driven bothe iterations of the E90 (328 & 335) Xi with slushboxes. I'm not going to bore everyone again by gushing over the bottomless power (especially compared to my '01 Prelude's 156 lb -ft of torque 5250 RPM) of the 335xi. I have a good time whenever I get to drive my Mom's 328xiA. I'd definitely take a 128i with a stick. It'd be a tossup between a 128i & a MINI Cooper S. BTW, my Prelude hit 100,000 miles last week!
