At the time I ordered my 128 vert, it was more expensive than a similarly equipped 328 sedan. So, the 128 is not always the cheapest option. Certainly if I wanted BMW's cheapest car, I would not have gotten the car I did. Ever since BMW released the 1 series in the US, I wanted a 128 vert. I jumped on it recently after hearing of the not too distant demise of the NA 6.
