2012 BMW 1 Series 128i 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl 6M)
Finding this car with a minimum of dealer added extras is difficult and may entail European delivery. Nonetheless, I was in a market that allowed me to shop amongst dealers. I drove a number of coupes and sports cars and failed to find a car that met this one's road handling, acceleration and overall value. The engine's quiet purr and the solid feel one gets from the steering wheel needs … to be experienced and balanced against the competition at this price.
Rockin'!

Bought my '12 128i coupe three months ago, and its everything I expected! Acceleration and road handling are superb! This is definitely a driver's car, and is comfortable for longer trips. An excellent choice!
My first BMW 128i

2012 BMW 1 Series 128i 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl 6M)
My first BMW 128i Coupe is a great purchase decision. It is FUN, responsive, comfortable, easy to operate, & has good driver visibilty.
I bought the 128i after months of research and test driving other competitors like Audi, Mercedes, etc.
I was looking for a personal "driving experience" for my comutes to work and one that allowed me to enjoy high quality workmanship that only cars of … that class can consistently produce.
The 128i is purely BMW!
Recommend the Sports Package (sport seats are very nice), BMW IDrive, Premium & Convenience packages at a minumum (elevates the BMW driving experience).
Pricey, maybe... but it's a BMW.
Besides, who buys a BMW to save money?
A great choice!

2012 BMW 1 Series 128i 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl 6M)
I test drove 17 vehicles ...
The only car with superior handling was the Cayman at 2x price. The heavy steering feel (a good thing), gives the car a planted, solid, one with the road feeling that is more livable than the razor, go cart Cayman.
The exterior/ interior styling white over red is simply the best looking car out there.
The 3 series is simply too big and bigger IS NOT … better.
