The 128 Sport/M-Sport 6MT is a supremely fun car to drive everyday, even to the market to pick up some milk and bread.

The other car that I've owned that made me smile as much was my '83 GTI (first year in the States-should have kept it).

The 128 6MT/Sport should be investigated by anyone looking for an affordable BMW driving experience.

Next summer, maybe you can buy mine....It is as perfect as a three-year-old car can be, with extra oil changes, and detailed by my fussy standards : )

Definitely a fun car to drive! I love mine.

Oh I really adore the 128 i coupe

Crazy how the design of this magazine almost seems "vintage" when its only from 2012!

Wow, an 8 year old article with correct predictions. It even exceeded expectations by getting famous for track driving, of course, with some mandatory mods.

128i manual is awesome! Car and Driver called it back in the day Sadly most were automatics but a normally aspirated, more reliable good sounding driver's car for sure. Big fan for the little car.

Wow dude, I had no idea this car existed and it is smoking hot!

mynde128 · 04-20-2021, 03:56 AM

Yeah, I agree, 128i is my fifth Bimmer and it's best

I'm in the market and this is great validation!

My 128i is hands down THE most fun car I have ever owned, and I come from a family of major fun car collectors - MGB, BMW, Lancias, Golfs, Fiat, TR7s, etc (ok not all good ones - but still fun!), I bought this baby in 2010 and have driven the heck out of it for 11 years now, 160K+ miles. Love, love, love this gem of a vehicle! I wouldn't mind being buried in it.
