#1740 of 1784 Finally saw a 128i, quite attractive by pod Jan 11, 2009 (8:58 pm)
At last, in RI I saw a parked orange/brownish 128i. It looked very well proportioned from front and back. I had expected it to look a bit out of porportion or high but definitely not so. The company pictures make it look funky weird but in person I found it very attractive. I would definitely go with the 128i as stripped as possible. I do not need the power of the 135i and wish to come in somewhere about $30K. I am single and do not need a functional back seat ( I rarely transport friends). Will the trunk hold a set of clubs and a push cart?

Replying to: pod (Jan 11, 2009 8:58 pm) Will the trunk hold a set of clubs and a push cart? Doubtful, in fact I don't think you could do that w a 3er. IIRC the rear seat folds down which might help.

Replying to: pod (Jan 11, 2009 8:58 pm) I put two sets of clubs in a 128 convertible -- "stand-bags", not the real big tour-sized bags. It would have taken a duffle bag in addition to that. The disadvantage is that the reason you have a decent trunk is the absence of a spare and the presence of the the run flat tires. There are thousands of posts on other boards expressing dissatisfaction with RFTs. Those tires are the sole reason I have not taken a more serious look at the BMW 1-series.

Replying to: 1lotlizard (Jan 24, 2009 10:48 pm) There is a non run-flat option available for the 1-series. It is available from Tire Rack for about $700. Replies to this message: 1lotlizard (Jan 25, 2009 9:38 pm) fedlawman (Jan 25, 2009 11:20 pm)

Replying to: fedlawman (Jan 25, 2009 8:38 am) Do you have further info on the non run flat option? I am familiar with tire rack. Doesn't any non run flat option necessitate a spare and that compromises the trunk? Thanks. Replies to this message: fedlawman (Jan 25, 2009 11:20 pm)

Replying to: 1lotlizard (Jan 25, 2009 9:38 pm) Yup, you can put a compact spare in the trunk, or do what Porsche and Lotus (among others) do - throw in small compressor and a can of fix-a-flat. I certainly wouldn't call RFT's a deal breaker. Buy some proper tires and sell your unwanted RFT's on ebay

Replying to: pod (Jan 11, 2009 8:58 pm) Will the trunk hold a set of clubs and a push cart? Yes. No problem. Trunk space is quite decent and actually about the same as the 3 coupe.

a month, whether we need it or not. Pretty dead board for what's supposed to be the "entry-level" bimmer. Replies to this message: fedlawman (Mar 12, 2009 7:50 am)

Replying to: cdnpinhead (Mar 12, 2009 6:09 am) You're right - throwing out the same old superlatives does get boring after a while. Maybe we need some new ones? Here, I'll get us started: Dazzling and scintillating. Discuss...
