I would not consider this a step down. Normally aspirated engine (n52) is reliable and easier to work on then the turbo (n54-n55) engine. It does have smaller brakes then the 135i. But still a ton of fun to toss around. There is an M-sport version of the 128i as well.

I drive an RS3 which can basically blow the doors off most cars, M3s included. I also have a 6MT 128I, and let me tell you, that car is more fun to drive on the streets. More engaging, awesome feeling hydraulic steering, and I can push the heck out of it without landing in handcuffs.

Question, which one is better for daily drive, this one 128i or the 328i???
@wavytrini56457 ай бұрын
Depends on if you need the extra space or not. Same engine and transmission combinations with a 300lb weight difference. So it really comes down to which you prefer looks wise and if you want a sedan or coupe

I don't know if you know this but the 128i is well considered the best out of the 1 series by BMW experts. They feel the engine and ride is actually better in the 128i than the 135. So, its actually not a step down as you said. Just FYI ..

A baby seat would be very cramped. And it's a completely different car. The performance is there, but being RWD vs FWD, they're gonna handle in a way that is not comparable.

The more powerful engine in the same family, the N54, has its fair share of issues. However this engine is just fine. It's the same engine without the use of turbochargers. That engine is in the 135i. 2 of my friends have 135i's and they love them and make great power, however it is a car that needs constant tinkering. But you shouldn't have any worries with a 128.

@@obi_lucas2042just make sure the previous owner has done their maintenance. Ask if the electric water pump and thermostat has been replaced. Check the cam cover and oil pans. BMWs love to leak oil from their gaskets. The cam cover isn't to bad to replace. BMW parts are not that expensive, but BMW labor is ridiculous. Working on them isn't that bad.
