i notice something. Most of the people that sell their car on this website are mostly 135i instead of 128i why is that?

Early adopters moving onto the next thing.

People reaching to buy a car they couldn't afford, then coming up short?

Also, I think 135i people are overrepresented on this forum. If you're a hard-core enthusiast, you probably want the 135i. If you're not hard-core, you won't have any problems getting the 128i (but, by the same token, you might not be as interested in seeking out a forum like this.)

Not to say the 128i isn't an enthusiast's car. It is. Just the way things are.

bothn of the above probably sum it all up

Probably because you can actually get something for a 135i?

alot of 135i owners are trading up to E90/E92 m3's

all are very good answers

i got 1 more, what about sgm 1 series would they be worth more, since there is a limited amount of them out bc it is a discontinued color and the fact that it actually proves that it is year 1 of the 1 series just by looking at the color????
