You are in the BMW 1-Series Forum. Your Host is claires

My diagnosis is you either have developed a rather serious case of goiter or you have been on the wrong end of a high pressure fuel pump. Only the fuel pump injury happens to be covered by your HMO. You think the fuel pump is a problem? Wait until the piezo fuel injectors screw up! More problems with BMW twin-turbos than any other BMW's. Not worth it, IMO. |

the 128i comes with the relatively trouble-free, proven inline-6, it would be the smart choice for most consumers. The additional power of the 135i is not needed in the USA, unless one intends the vehicle for track use. As others have sadly discovered, a 335i or 135i attracts old smoky with very little effort. I have yet to see any 1 Series on the road, either in Florida or New Mexico. Seems to be very exclusive.

The problem I think it, from dead on front view there is no way in telling if you ae looking t a 1 series or 3 series. I'm currently in Santa Cruz Ca and have seen 3, 1 series all of them been 135i.

Replying to: flightnurse (Oct 03, 2008 6:47 am) Nobody was "telling" you anything. I was merely offering a suggestion that most folks would probably be better off with the proven trouble-free inline 6. You want potential fuel pump and fuel injector problems, get the 135i. Don't forget to call Mom.

Replying to: bodble2 (Oct 11, 2008 12:43 pm) BMW leases are unattractive at this time. BMW wants you to buy their vehicles, offering 0.9% financing on most, if not all 2008 models through October 31st. A 2008 335i coupe can be bought and financed at 0.9%. The same vehicle when leased will have a finance charge of 5.76% with a horrible residual to add insult to injury. The message is clear: BMW does not want to be stuck with a surplus of used vehicles coming off-lease. I find the 0.9% BMWFS offer on most 2008 BMW's "tempting."  FYI: The 0.9% is being offered on the entire 2008 BMW model line; that means all 1 Series models too!

Replying to: fedlawman (Oct 11, 2008 5:37 pm) BMW finds itself in a bind. They were the ideal leasing company as few of us would take a chance on long-term ownership. Now with the focus on buying, they will have fewer future customers and their bottom line will take a big hit in the USA. Seeing a BMW on our highways, I'm afraid, will soon be a rare occurrence several years hence. For the very brave or the hyper vehicle-traders among us, the entire BMW line of remaining 2008's (including the entire one Series line) is on sale for only 0.9% financing through BMWFS.

Replying to: hpowders (Oct 11, 2008 4:00 pm) Fair enough, but how is this year different from last or the one before? They've been bringing in any number of vehicles over the past several years off leases for residuals that were nowhere near reality. When, and why did they finally get religion?
