      I like the 1 series more and more every time I see them. CPO could be better value, and you still get the warranty.

        I think BMW is offering .09% on CPO. That's pretty much free financing

          I'm convinced my next car will be a 128i. Always liked them.

            Always thought this was the 1er to get. I'd get white on black vinyl with no options, the Tii body bits from VAC, and maybe a set of LMs with Nogaro centers.

            Yes, that would do nicely.

              CPO is the way to go. twice the warranty for less $$$ My cpo has saved me a few grand in repairs.

                I am looking to make a change for another daily driver in the $15K range.

                  128's are "nice" but 135's are INCREDIBLE! Planning on picking mine up next week actually, black sapphire/coral, DCT, '09, 58k miles. JB4 and intercooler is in my closet right now actually, I may have been planning this for a while

                    Why are they so heavy?

                    I know, I know, modern cars, safety and a big twin turbo inline 6. I just expected lighter when I looked up the specs with all of the praise people have been giving them.

                      E82 is just the right size. Modern 3 series are just getting too big. Now, if you are in a sunshine state, then get a E88 as a daily. You will love it ;D

                        I came close to pulling the trigger on a 135i, but then I remembered I had kids.

                            Full auto or DCT? I've driven both 6 speed and DCT and I prefer the DCT because it stays in boost all the time!
