A great car with exceptional performance
Beautiful car. Great performance, decent milage and no significant problems to deal with. The transmission is exceptional. Silky smooth shifting and positive gear changes. The brakes are also exceptional. Less stopping distance than a Porsche 911. Not bad in fuel economy if one can keep the right foot up a bit. Not a bad winter driver as well with a good set of snow tires. Overall a great car. No complaints.

Great driving machine with 300hp
Awesome ride. Water pump and thermostat new recently. Roof was replaced after a few months due to hole in fabric. No electric issues. Car is a dream to drive.

It's a BMW, need I say anymore?
Excellent car, safe, secure and rock steady. There are faster, and maybe more stylish cars in this class, but you can't beat the fit, finish, build and driving pleasure for this price. Very good value and holds value over time.

Quick, stylish and performance oriented
This car is one of the most enjoyable car I have owned, certainly the fastest and it is unique enough to make you feel like you have something just a little bit out of the ordinary. This car is built to drive and will become a classic in the BMW stable.

Trim: 135I M SPORT PACKAGE
by LindaBMW on 07-15-2013
FUN, LUXURY, COMFORT, RELIABILITY, RESPONSIVE, SPEED, and AGILITY all wrapped up in '1' car.
Truly amazing! BMW hit the nail on the head when they created the 135i. The 6 speed manual, inline-6, 3.0L twin turbo engine purrs, producing 300 hp and 300ft/lbs all at 1400 rpm. I have babied this vehicle as it truly deserves to be treated as such.

Absolutely fantastic!
I have driven this car year round. It is an absolute blast! It performs and handles like a dream in the summer. With winter tires in the winter, it goes through snow, around corners and up hills better than some trucks and SUV's!

With adaptive headlights, built-in bluetooth, integrated iPod/iPhone controls, heated memory seats, comfort access with keyless entry and start, and so much more, this car has the amenities to be comfortable on long drives, and the performance to make you want to keep driving!

My little Rocket !!
I think BMW hit it out of the park with this car! It is a Very comfortable car and a pleasure to drive, The stereo system is absolutely incredable, the seating position is spot on and the controls are all within reach. The comfort acess means the key stays in my pocket weather I need to unlock, enter start/stop or even lock the car, how cool is that. But nothing can put a smile on your face as quick as stepping on the accelerator!!! The 3.0L twin turbo motor is un-believeable, I may never be late again....lol And with the M-sport package you also get the "big brake package" to slow you down in a hurry, just incase you do get a little carried away, wink wink.
With the sport suspension, sport seats, traction control, and stability control, you really feel at one with the road, and always in control. MY only gripe is with the runflat tires. The work well in every situation except spirited driving.....Hitting some open-road twisties up north would be much more rewarding on even a medium priced hoigh-performance tire...But other than that this just might be "The Ultimate Driving Machine"

Trim: 128I

Small & powerful but ultimately impractical
To be honest the only negative I have to say about this car is it is too small to be practical. When I knock down the 128i on the exterior styling, it's less so about the design features then it is about the actual size of the car. Not everyone loves the spartan interiors but to me the good folks at BMW spend time on what's important and that's what's under the hood. This car can move! It is a car that begs to be taken on a stretch of road like the Sea to Sky highway on a quiet morning. It is a bit wasted sitting in traffic in the daily commute. And that's where it falls down in my opinion.I'm also used to having a fair amount of space in my cars to carry sports gear and a few extra people in the back & there just isn't enough room in the teeny 128i. The other negative is the price. I love this pocket rocket but I'd suggest spending the extra $$ to move up to the 3 series which is (in my mind) the more practical car for daily use.
