Just got my new 128i today. Asked for a smoker's package but did not get it. Not an available option but I thought I would try.
Otherwise the only options are the steptronic and the moonroof. This dies not detract from it's Crimson Red beauty or the opulent Taupe leatherette interior.
I know it's a sin to smoke an occasional cigar in the beauty but I intend to do so anyway.
Here are a few small photos.

now tint it.

Looks great! I agree about the tint though, especially in FL!

How's do you like the ride? Most people around here don't really like the stock suspension on these cars, especially the non-sport 128i, so I'm just curious.

The sport suspension is too harsh for me. I test drove a 328 with sport and it would knock the ash off my cigar.

BEST REASON NOT TO HAVE THE SPORT SUSPENSION.

Looks great ! I am jealous cuz I quit smoking cigars. I used to love smoking Ashton VSGs. Have a few for me, but be careful...I had a burn mark in my old 325

Spitfire007 · 12-05-2011, 08:27 PM

I'm an AVO Notturno guy....short and sweet, with a little spice. Perfect burn everytime.

Congrats on the car! I loved the 128i motor, but I found a 135i that makes me drool...

Very nice. You will love this car...

Ahhh I see. That is very different thinking than most on here, who are just concerned with performance. Not wrong thinking, just not what I'm used to seeing. But what I can see, is that you're a man of pure class

. Welcome to the forum!

Mine only has walnut interior trim and sport suspension. It is a 2009, however, so it came with the smoker package. I think you can buy it for around $150 from a dealer as a kit. You could get the part number and list price from RealOEM. Taking the console out is not real difficult, I did it to add the iDrive cup holder (another thing you can add using BMW parts you can get the numbers from RealOEM).
