The 128i doesn't hold its value that well, and neither does the 135i for that matter, though the 128i does seem to depreciate faster. This is the primary reason I ended up with a CPO 128i over the new 135i I set out to purchase. In 2010 I picked up a 1.5-year old 2008 128i with 23,000 miles on the odometer from a BMW dealer, heated/power seats, moonroof, and automatic for $22k. Keep in mind that this was a car that originally stickered for around $35k...an almost 40% depreciation in only 1.5 years. And, it's a CPO car to boot. No, the car doesn't have a ton of options, but for that price, who could pass it up! The 128i makes a great bargain to a used car buyer, and an original buyer unhappy at time of sale.
