New Owner 128i coupe

DAC17 · 10-16-2010, 03:37 PM

So I'm new to this forum, and just bought a 2011 128i coupe today. The "purist" version: sport package, premium package, 6-speed manual, sat radio. Should be picking it up on Wednesday. Really looking forward to it, and learning more about the model (I previously had an E36 M3).

Welcome! Pix, please.

Congratulation.
I too jumped from E36s to the 128i sport. You will feel right at home, except for the windows trigger, the new emplacement sucks. A cool mod would be to move them where they should be.

Good choice indeed. What color?

Great choice!

My 2010 128i has been great, still get a thrill out of driving it.

It's the deep sea blue metallic with the gray leather interior. I'll get some pictures when I pick it up next week!

Thanks for the welcome.
