Port Charlotte. I'm in Maine for the summer, will drive the 128i down in the fall sometime. I have a '17 GTI Sport down there too.

GTI is a special car imo, as is the 1er, of course.

I very much agree! I find it to be just as much of a Swiss Army Knife of a car as my e91. Can do just about anything and everything very well. But MUCH better value, given it cost about half as much new (though if I could have gotten another new 6spd RWD BMW wagon, I would have).

I actually traded a '16 M235i for it when I moved to FL and like the GTI rather better overall. I liked the 2-series, but I didn't love it, and it wasn't practical enough as an only car at my winter place.
