First 100 Miles of Joy

I picked up my AW 128/sport package/manual on Thursday and the first 100 miles have been amazing. This car has exceeded all of my expectations . The car looks so much better than it appears in photos. I was concerned about the look of the sport rims until I took delivery and the rims are HOT. The manual transmission is smooth as silk and the 230bhp engine is quite responsive from what I can tell in the break in period. The premium stereo sounds incredible especially when playing tunes from an IPOD. The sport seats are incredibly comfortable and have hug you like a warm woman on a cold night. Best of all, the car is a real head turner and the attention doesn't suck. Great car...great fun!!

Peace all!

I totally agree with you. My first 50 miles were nothing short of spectacular.

nice to see another 1 floating around LI. Congrats on the car...and when it gets broken in take it to the straightaway on Wantagh Parkway south of Merrick Road. Great spot for a quick topend run...

My first 100 miles were awesome, I took it out on Pacific Coast Highway and drove for nearly 3 hours straight.

Totally agree - freakin' amazing.

Picked mine up a little less than a week ago and WOW!

Now I'm cursing that I only have a 10 mile commute to work. I need to find a longer route.

Ohh, good God the roads here are crap. I look like a retard when I drive. I'm running a slalom through all of the holes. I just dart across to the sides on my lane...can't wait until I go to school in Texas.

I totally agree- got mine (like OP, AW 128i 6-MT sport package) two weeks ago, and I have been VERY impressed. THe car is a blast to drive, excellent acceleration, phenomenal steering, and great build quality. It is just awesome. Enjoy everyone!

Since I picked up my 128i I find myself bummed when I get to work in the morning - you mean it's over already - I have to get out of the car now?

Almost a year later and I still enjoy every drive to work in the morning. It displeases me greatly to get out of baby blue. It seems I always take a glance or two back just to get a wince of her beauty! Congrats on your new possession! Enjoy the "Ultimate Driving Machine"!

I make sure and park where I can see it in the distance from my office window. Near all the other BMW's, Proche's, and MB's that don't want their doors dinged.

At least I get to stare at it all day long. Somehow it seems brighter then all the other cars in the lot. It's that special "1er glow".

Ha Ha. I, too, park next to another guy at work who has a 335i, or next to a MB or new black Corvette. People I never even met before at work are coming up to me now--"nice ride." It is funny. And the other Bimmer folks are constantly talking to me like we are in a special club--I am learning things from them too. Too cool. ENJOY.

I'm at over 9k and I'm really happy with how its opened up in the last few 1000 miles. I feel it is definitely quicker now than when I got it. Also averaging over 25mpg on my commute.
