Awesome handling and power
Absolutely love this car, terrific handling and endless power at any speed. Great fuel economy at 8.8l/100kms. Beautiful exterior design, well assembled with no gaps. Very capable with winter tires in deep snow, always felt in complete control.

The ultimate sportscar
This car is extremely fun to drive. Suspension is brutal, though - and the car can be very uncomfortable on bumpy roads. Interior quality is good, simple, and elegant - but is lacking a degree of tech sophistication that you'd expect from a luxury brand like BMW.

2011 BMW 1 Series

Trim: 128I Convertible
by A13 on 02-01-2013
2011 128i convertible takes gas like water in city driving
The car is a very nice little car. Come loaded with lots of bells and whistles. The car feel heavy and sturdy. Takes lots of gas for city driving. It takes more gas than my previous 330i in the city. Highway mileage is very good. Car does not feel fast at all. I found the previous 330i 5 speed steptronic matches the engine better than the new 6 speed.

Fun little car
This is a fun little car that gets pretty good gas mileage. Handles very well, and looks quite good. The 128i has enough power, and since it is not turbo charged like the 135i there is no delay in the power delivery. I also like the simple gauges, but think it should have an engine temperature gauge in the dash.

Great ride, fun too!
I've had nothing but great times driving this car! Being real wheel drive, it's probably not the best for Canadian winters, but in the summer, you'll turn heads when you whip past them in this comfortable 2 door sports car.

Awesome Car
I got this car a few months ago and its just a joy to drive. Super fun awesome handling car. Plus the attention this car draws isnt bad either. Goes 0-60 in under 6 seconds so it can beat most cars off the line.

Wow very nice
Nice car with the best seat heaters . like it . i was amazed to see the styling and the curves on the car ,
when this car runs , i even dont feel the bumps , the suspension is tooo good and the fuel economy is slightly lower, but its ok for a luxury car like this . the size of the tyres is cool and the auto drive options still amaze me on the highway

Pretty awesome car
Everyday i would drive this car around and i would get a lot of compliments by many different people( of different cultures and backgrounds) such as "Sweet ride!". This car was my favorite and to many people, it was a sweet sweet eye candy. I couldn't stop attracting stares by both men and woman every time i drove by. This is a car i would recommend buying for anyone.

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!

The car is surprisingly well endowed and neat. So after the drive and after haven owned a BMW i was utterly impressed that i had to write such a remarkable review of the Vehicle BMW. Therefore the vehicle itself is in well shape and condition it is a must have for any season or condition.

It’s somewhat ironic that a company such as BMW is promoting sustainability with the introduction of hybrid models, as well as the upcoming launch of their i division, but also sells 560-hp “M” cars.

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"

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.
