The 128i NA6 might be the last pure BMW we'll ever see in America.  |
This makes me very sad but is also spot on. I'm seriously considering a 128i purchase early next year and would option it out almost exactly as the article suggests with the exception of the Xenon headlamps.
Truthfully I'm also not completely sold on the Sport Package as I've driven a non Sport package 128i that felt great and read more than one opinion that said the Sport Package ride quality was pretty bad. I need to go check one out myself soon and see which I like better. It would certainly save me money but I really do like the looks of the Sport Package car better.
