My BMW Dealer Visit

128er · 03-20-2008, 02:34 PM

I just got back from Momentum BMW West in Houston, TX., and witnessed a gorgeous Black Sapphire 135i. I am now getting the Black Sapphire because the color is BEAUTIFUL! I saw 2 128i's that I didn't really like; one was a Sedona Red one with Premium Package and I realized that Sport Pack is a must on the 128i. The other was a Cashmere Silver convertible that was okay...but I'm more of a coupe guy. I am probably ordering in early June!! I also noticed that on the windows on the 1er...it looks pretty well tinted for you guys who want to do after market tinting.

IM SO EXCITED!!

My dealer in Albany NY had the exact same vehicles,..all Dealers must have gotten the same colors / options in their 1st launch allocation.

why do you say that sport package is a must....is this because you test drove the 128 or a visual thing?

128er · 03-20-2008, 03:21 PM

Its a visual thing..i haven't test drove it yet. The 128i doesn't look very sporty without it. The sport suspension must lower it or something because it looks like a whole different visual. Plus, the sports seats are amazing!!

In Canada sport package has 18" wheel, plus the same sport seats and sport suspension. I'm guessing it rides a 1/4 inch lower. With those things, the sport package is an absolute must for me...

In Northern IL they had the same. 1 135i black, Coral leather, premium pkg. sport pkg MSRP $42,500. 2-128i Cashmere Conv. 1-128i coupe Sedona. ALL had automatics.
The black 135i with Coral was AWESOME

BUT Alpine will be my choice. COOL, easy to clean
