Enjoy the anticipation - it is worth it - fast, practical and comfortable. I got in mine after one month of using my 911 and it felt and drove great. I just kept slamming the doors as my 911 is a cab!

The M135i works out to be about £60 more a month with adaptive suspension, but obviously more expensive on road tax (not an issue)

My concern is here. Is the 128Ti really better than the “improved” M135i?

And what are people getting MPG wise driving them sensibly in Eco Pro mode (for longer commutes)

All help is appreciated!
Your "canal barge" has a proper 50/50ish weight balance, rear-wheel drive, and the CLAR architecture based all-aluminum suspension.


I would rethink trading it for a front-wheel drive shopping cart.


Edit: I see I was too late. Oh well.

Hi all,
I’ve owned a 128ti since October 22 (Nice car) and on the 1st of April this year I’m taking delivery of a brand new M135i. I guess it’s the car I wanted however in October the deals weren’t available so missed out. I’m looking forward to the change. I’ve ordered the car with the following Technology Pack and M135i Pro Pack & Privacy Glass.

You won’t regret it! I’ve done 6500 miles in mine since October and loved every second of it.

I genuinely love driving this car vs my old 5 series. It feels enjoyable rather than a chore 😂
