128i pics

stiguy08 · 01-12-2008, 05:04 AM

hey all, i just got back from the local car show and wanted to share these pictures with you guys.

i had a 04 sti. its dimensions are very similar to the 1 series coupe. i'm surprised that the 1 series look much smaller in person. much smaller than my old sti from what i remember.

there was a 335 coupe right next to the 128. in comparison, the rear end of the 128 looks much shorter. almost too short. oh well, i'm a small person, so i guess the 1 series would fit me fine =)

Great first post! Thanks onelife!!

Which Car show?

groovyjay · 01-12-2008, 11:45 AM

I like the front bumper on that more than the M version on the 135s we've seen here...

Must be a fairly small car show. In that pic, there's BMW, Nissan, Mazda, Honda, and Mercedes in a 1000 sq ft space.

Very cool that the 128i was there though! It looks like a low optioned one at that. Not even Xenons. What is weird is that there are no fog lights!??? They are supposed to be standard in the US. Is this in Canada???

The fog lights are there, just not easy to see them clearly because of the angle of the shot. You can just see the clear glass in the first shot.

this was at the silicon valley international auto show in san jose.

Nice pics. Good job.

Berduderunner · 01-12-2008, 10:12 PM

Hmm... thought sedona was exclusive to the 135i?

ARES45 · 01-12-2008, 10:40 PM

I think it is crimson, it doesn't really look metalic to me.

It is far from crimson red.

cracka · 01-12-2008, 10:45 PM

It's Sedona, but Sedona isn't exclusive to the 135i, just exclusive to the 1 Series coupe.

ARES45 · 01-12-2008, 10:52 PM

Yeah you are probably right, that car makes sedona look really bad IMO.

We need a "Death to Sedona Red" smiley.

I'm getting a Lemans blue, but what do you people have against Sedona red?

It's not bad, especially in the videos.
