I've really enjoyed my 128i. I'd recommend a sport suspension with manual. The sport also means you get summer tires so winters tires are a must if there's snow.

I haven't removed the CDV in my car, so i can't speak to the difference when it's removed, but I haven't had any problems with parking and normal driving. The CDV is noticeable when trying to launch the car, it feels like the clutch is being let out slowly, which i don't like.

Yes, the missing dipstick is really unfortunate. And there are other enthusiast turn offs like, no engine temperature reading, run flat tires, the previously mentioned CDV. But there are solutions to all of these problems, and despite them the 128i is a pleasure to drive.
