As for the 128i, plenty of unbiased and informed reviewers have it pegged as a pleasant and engaging driver's car capable of a sub-6 second 0-60 time, powered by THE iconic BMW engine (that is to say a NA I6). It aint a drag racer, to be sure, but it also aint supposed to be.

Yeah, I'm inclined to accept that as true, but I don't really get the need to correlate gender with vehicles in absolute terms. My main point of contention was the definition of the 128i as a "chick car," which is a term that I am especially confused about because I've heard it applied to so many different cars (V6 Mustangs, ALL convertibles, etc) with little consistency between users. I was sort of opposing the term "guy's car" just to be consistent.

the 128i is no more a "chicks" car then the 135i b/c most of the time the idiots that make those comments have no clue there are even different versions of a 1 series...

There is no such thing as a chick's car, that's as crazy as saying "Thats a Man's Barbie doll!" ... The only 2 types of cars that exist are ballsy cars and a pussy's car... whats a pussy's car? - one with A/T when there is a M/T available.

are you all still seriously arguing about the 128 being a chick car? after a year and a half? such a shallow observation must be based on the perception of Joe Schmo along the street and i have news for you - to Joe Schmo on the street your 135 looks exactly the same as a 128. If the 128 is a chick car then the 135 is a chick car. get over it, they are both great cars.
now, where were we.... well if there wasnt going to be an 1M, they would obviously say there wont be. if there was going to be a 1M, they would say there wont be so people still buy the 135is. isnt that fairly typical BMW? |

There are also two types of people, reasonable people and assholes. You sir are an asshole. And what's an asshole? Somebody that makes pointless and incorrect accusations.
