Replying to: thaider (Apr 12, 2008 10:21 am) "as soon as you touch any of the meaningful options the price spikes."   Personally, I don't think any of the options are meaningful." None of them add any performance, and none of them significantly improve the appearance, comfort, or practicality of the car.   But that's just me...

Replying to: bruski2 (Apr 12, 2008 3:53 pm) What about the Sport Package? I didn't see it listed in your post. On a 128i, it's much more significant than on the 135i. On the 135i, the sports suspension is standard, but on the 128i it requires that you order the Sports Package. I would strongly suggest you give it serious consideration. It will provide a major handling improvement on the 128i.   TM Replies to this message: bruski2 (Apr 13, 2008 5:43 pm) tagman (Apr 14, 2008 7:06 am)

Replying to: tagman (Apr 12, 2008 4:57 pm) Hey Tag, Bummer, I didnt get the sports package with my 128i. I didnt on my 325xi and thought it was awesome without the sp. I test drove a 128i without the sports pkge. and thought it still drove, handled awesome. As mentioned in most of the reviews, I really wanted to 1, but once you get going on the extras its gets really costly. I wanted the cold package/heated seats,pass thru rear seat, etc. Also really wanted the premium pkge. But as you know once you get going on the extras the $$ get up there. As mentioned, test drove the 128 w/o the s.p. and thought it was still was a awesome drive. I aint a kid, dont need the firmer driver experiance. Very happy using the vehicle in a (touring) experiance without having to do 65mph on the hairpins. You gotta put a limit on the extras or it gets to $$$$$. Really wanted the cold package with the heated seats, put thru package, as well as the premium stuff, blue tooth, garage door, electric seats, etc. with the P.P.. Just didnt want to dish out another $1200 for the S.P. Might be an old fart, but still will be smiling. later dude.   Replies to this message: tagman (Apr 14, 2008 7:06 am)

Replying to: bruski2 (Apr 13, 2008 5:43 pm) You have made a good decision in that case. In fact you will benefit from the more comfortable ride. The sport suspension isn't punishing but is a little harsh at times. I totally understand your reasoning. You will really enjoy the car!   Hey, now that we are through discussing "price", let's head back to the other forum where we were first discussing the car! I'll meet you over there with your next post. (just make it about the car, and not the price.)   TM
#13 of 17 New 128 Convertible by lane128 Apr 16, 2008 (11:25 am)
Ordered a 128 convertible yesterday ... got a total of about 1.5% discount off MSRP plus a reasonable value for my trade-in..... Local dealers in Virginia appear to be sticking hard to getting the MSRP this early in the model intro.

Replying to: bruski2 (Apr 12, 2008 3:53 pm) Bruski, did as well. took delivery Saturday (2-days ago) on a 128 convertible with premium, nav, cold weather, auto. It was on the showroom floor and we drove it home after about 6-hours at the dealer. They were also very generous on my trade in, dropped the price on the new car and put together a very nice deal for me.   thanx Larry
#15 of 17 Long wait for 1 Series by waiting Jun 05, 2008 (8:28 am)
I ordered a BMW i Series at the end of April. I was told the wait would be seven weeks from when it was ordered. I was just given a production number today. I also just found out today that the car won't go into production until July with an anticipated delivery at the end of August. Can anyone explain this? I have ordered cars before but they never took very long.
#16 of 17 Going to buy/lease a 128 convertible by elizariev Jun 12, 2008 (9:27 am)
My friend is going to buy or lease 128 convertible. As a BMW owner I was enlisted to help her research the options.   What should she expect to pay over invoice or under MSRP?   Is there a special on buying or leasing?   She want to go with the stick shift, leather, and heated seats. I guess she's going for the most basic configuration.   Any recent experiences in St Louis metro?
#17 of 17 What are your trades? by biancar Jun 16, 2008 (1:35 pm)
Curious about what you guys are trading in. Another convertible for this one, or a sedan or something?   Idly wondering what I might get for a 2005 350Z Touring Roadster....
