time to order 128i

[flyboyx]

So that means my Dad's car is a regular auto. Interesting, I would like to compare the to DCT now!

If you come to Houston, you can take mine for a spin. It's fretty pucking fast.

Am dum. Not DCT but the flappy paddles.

so the steptronic auto

Mr. Tasty has it right, there's paddles on pre-2011 model year cars but DCT wasn't a thing until 2011 lol I like the paddles on newer cars and since I don't vape, I don't feel like a total fuckhead when I use them

Not sure to be honest. His car is a 2008 and it has the paddles on the wheel where you push to shift down and pull to shift up on either side (I think those are the correct directions). You tell me

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!

DCT didn't come into play until 2011..

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

My dad has a 135i Sport with the auto...oh how I wish it was a manual! I can't drive the car smoothly from a stop, it's really lurchy. The thing is seriously quick though.

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

Anyone else here have a 128i ?

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

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


1addicts.com is a good forum to find more info.

Why are they so heavy?

3,420lbs

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.
