HeyMoe53 - great minds think alike
Here's my build: 128 6MT Coupe Mineral Grey M-Sport Premium (w/ black leather) Cold Weather Xenon Harman Kardon Bluetooth w/ BMW Assist Anthracite trim I love my 2009 128 and, as you can see by my signature, the suspension is finally right. The only reason I want to buy a new one is because I want to have this car forever (especially being the last chance to get I-6 and hydraulic steering). My current 1er has almost 70,000 miles on it now and will have about 140,000 miles by the time I retire. If I buy a new one now, it will have only 70,000 miles on it and be a good candidate for long term ownership when I put on many fewer miles per year. I'll probably sell my 2009 to my son. OP - I highly recommend the Xenons. I'm 58 so that's part of the reason but these are just fantastic headlights. You'll note that I do not want the technology package. Although iPod navigation is a little clumsy without iDrive, I simply hate screens stuck on top of dashboards. The 128 has such a clean, low-profile dash and it's a more pure, or "vintage," driving experience. That's another reason to grab a 2013 car. I despise the "iPad" that BMW sticks on top of every F30 dash and imagine they'll do the same with the 2014 2-series.

I just keep getting wonderful comments from so many fellow "1ers." I love all of the comments!
Maybe, all of this fun is an early birthday present (will be 60 on Friday). I'll remember to raise one (or more) for all the "1ers" that evening. Again, thanks to all!!!! Moe |

OK--time for an update.
I placed an order on Monday for a new 128. Here's the build... LeMans Blue Oyster interior (I'm confident that I can keep it clean) Manual transmission (no other way for me) M-Sport (another given) Premium (couldn't get Sirius without it, decided I wanted the power seats) Heated seats Still thinking about Performance Center Delivery. I'm kind of wondering how much longer it would take, compared to the ETA at my dealer in Pennsylvania. My dealer had production slots available, so they are telling me I'll get it in six weeks. I'm comfortable with the deal. I could have maybe cross-shopped some, and scored a couple of hundred dollars more. I don't do that. Never have. If I am happy with a dealer, I'll never do that if their offer is competitive. At my dealer, I am treated just as well as if I were driving an M, or a 7-series. Every single time. They will be getting a very nice 1er in trade. They have commented, "We know how you take care of your car." Well, sometime in June, I will have a new 1er to fuss over, and have fun driving. Thanks to each and every one of you for your comments. Regards, Moe |

Likely putting in my order tomorrow morning for a 128i with 6mt and M-package. Dealer is being very accommodating at invoice plus small fee. Makes me wonder if I'm leaving money on the table.
