Hi all -
Wanted to refresh this thread now that the 228's are out. I'm new to BMW but fell in love with the 1 series when I started researching cars (I've been in NYC sans car for 4 years).
A manual is a must for me - so finding a 2013 128 with my specs has been tricky. I did find one out in CA but the logistics with the dealership sound like a headache. The residual dropped significantly and it's on a dollar residual so the lease is NOT attractive (I've gotten quotes in the high 600s for an invoice of around 35k).
Any guidance on possibly entering a higher lease for a 128 vs a 228? The thing that keeps me focused on the 128 is the straight 6 and the body of the 1 which I really prefer.
Any guidance from those who have driven a manual 228 vs the manual 128?!?
Greatly appreciate any and all responses!!!
