128i or 135i

128er · 10-06-2007, 10:09 AM

Ok..I think this may have been done before but humor me. Which 1 Series will the people at 1Addicts be getting? 128i or 135i?

Nixon · 10-06-2007, 10:13 AM

The web is international, why not add the 123d in for our friends outside the US?

128er · 10-06-2007, 03:40 PM

:iono:why do you care...you are in Denver!

TESLAASTRO · 10-06-2007, 06:34 PM

135 for sure......

BForbes · 10-06-2007, 06:42 PM

Just the thought of a car this small with twin-turbos tickle me.

128er · 10-07-2007, 05:07 PM

128i For me!!

imported_MPower · 10-07-2007, 05:20 PM

Depends on price, but it will be damn near impossible to get me away from the 135i.

Taz · 10-07-2007, 05:21 PM

Without a doubt the 135. If the 123d was offered in the US though I'd probably go for it. The main reason I'd buy the 135 vs. other manufacturers offerings is because of the performance it should have. The 128 doesn't offer enough punch since the car looks to weigh pretty close to the 3 series.

I'm looking at a long term D.driver & would really prefer to stay na
.....Just wish they'd give us the N53B30 with 272hp:wub:

NJKSC27 · 10-08-2007, 09:15 AM

not for nothing.... whynot buy the 135i? i assume most of us here are young professionals and not 17 year old first drivers.

I've always wanted a twin turbo something. Just sounds cool.

Honda Accord

OSU9s · 02-28-2008, 08:41 PM

I was looking at the Honda Accord Coupe V6, but the 128i meets all my needs for a great price. The 135 sounds awesome, but it's snows here and I'm scared to death of having to have work done on a BMW with a twin turbo, and 6 piston calipers at 51,000.

I'll stick with a car that is $5k less, still plenty fast, will not be worthless in the snow. If needed I'm sure I can put $1-$2k into performance parts for the car and get some more performance if needed.

JSierra · 02-28-2008, 08:53 PM

I lived in Alaska for 3 years. Now I am in Texas. I know the feeling about trying to get a nice car and putting it in the snow...especially if you dont have the funds to support 2 cars. Im so glad im in Texas where the nice cars are out for most of the year.....

Hey, OSU9s were did you order your 128; Kelly or MAG?

BMW Dreamer · 02-28-2008, 10:19 PM

I would NEVER consider the 128i... Its 300hp and that AWESOME torque or its nothing.

Why would snow traction be any different between the 128i and 135i ??? They are the same cars. Get top quality snow tires.

It's not just traction.... it's applied torque & power.

young1er · 02-29-2008, 08:58 AM

I'm going with the 128i. I am switching from a truck so i know that it will have more than enough power for me. Besides as
OSU9s vbmenu_register("postmenu_72349", true); stated we can always add other parts such as a chip, intake, etc. Not to mention that the insurance rates for someone like me would be a lot higher on a 135i (23yo single male)
