Hoping mine will be in within 2 weeks!

Hey JB - I ordered mine. Got it ordered on 4/12 and delivered to me on 6/9. Not too bad. Am TOTALLY in love now!:headbang:

Thanks man! I appreciate it. Totally having a blast with it...although trying to get it through the break in ASAP. I also have to agree with you. I think the non-xenon looks a tad meaner. Thanks for the feedback!!:headbang:

I think I am the only person alive that likes the look of the chrome grill more then the black shadowline one, lol.

hi 128CTGUY,

i love the look on my 128i. it has a smaller front belly line, xenons, and Fog Lights. you agree? ..but i think both 128 & 135's look equally aggressive.

Agreed. I don't think you can go wrong with either one. I like the 128...that's why I got it. It also has plenty of power...the 135 was almost too much...sad to say...I couldn't trust myself with that much under the right foot. The 128i has a great balance to it. Like many in the lineage of BMW. :biggrin:

thanks perfect 128 and 128ctguy for the info. nice to hear that the runflats aren't too noisy. i'm also not a fan of getting beat to death over a rough road in a car but do like tight handling, so it sounds like the sport suspension is perfect! 45 days to go...definitely jealous of all of you who have already picked up your cars

There is something to be said for to much power. I went to pick up my son from basketball practice and was just cruising along at a very easy pace....doing 60 in a 35. /sigh are you kidding me? I would not of believed it had I not read it from the speedo. This car is so smooth it is scary...

Very good looking car man!

BMW Dreamer · 06-13-2008, 05:21 AM

Very classy looking car dude!

Is that jet black or Metallic black ?

BJDrew · 06-13-2008, 08:12 PM

I'm very jealous of you all... 5 days into my long long wait. I'm glad there's some photos of the 128i.

Shadowline grill is badass.

The bumper doesn't have that smiley-face dip like the 135 has either. A bit more mature looking IMO.

BJDrew · 06-17-2008, 10:51 AM

I might drive to CT just in the hopes of catching it on the road!
