I agree, the 135i owners talking down on 128i owners is immature, since it's still a BMW, we should all be respectful one another. But in a way, aren't you 128i owners doing the same thing as us 135i, and talking down on the 135i?
I've encountered multiple posts on this thread that a 128i owner stating that "they are glad they didn't choose the 135i because of HPFP," or "turbo engine's don't last as long as a N/A" or "carbon buildup".
This thread's purpose is for people who bought a 128i, but later down the road, actually wants 135i, not "I bought a 128i because the 135i has.....problems".
If your tired of the 135i owners talking down on the 128i, you should do the same and stop listing the problems on the 135i  . |
So, you as a 135 owner feel compelled to step into this thread for what reason? This probably is the only thread where I as a 128 owner feel entirely welcome, since it seems that most of the rest of the forum is biased towards 135 owners.
And acknowledging the 135 has problems doesn't mean that I'm telling 128 owners not to buy a 135. But that should possibly be a consideration when looking at the two models.
I am tired of reading something like I did today where someone states that the first mistake is buying a 128 without providing any reasonable justification.
But anyway, happy driving in your 135, and I'm will happily drive my 128 as well.
