Used 2009 BMW 1 Series Consumer Reviews
128i man oh man
I have a 09 BMW 128i Convertible with the sport and cold weather package. This is my 3rd BMW this is easily my favorite so far. It is SUCH A FUN CAR TO DRIVE! I am a car enthusiast. the 128 has a bunch of power that will throw you back into the seat handles like the car is glued to the road. Its a true drivers car very tight steering loud solid engine. The girlfriend and I love cruising around town with the top off I personally love how small it is and for a car like this its expected to be small... its a sports car. I have also done some modifications to it. Exhaust, ECU tune, tires, wheels and more. Pros: Price Powerful Handling styling Sound Easy to drive N51 and N52 engine is rock solid Cons: Tires (Recommend upgrading. too powerful for runflat tires) MPG (18 city 21 highway)

Fun to Drive
The 2009 BMW 128i is great fun to drive--Period. Easy to maneuver, it is a pleasure in New York City. An unexpected benefit is its ability to use a smaller than usual parking space in Manhattan. With its rear wheel drive it is not especially good in the snow and its small rear seat is useful only in a pinch by a fairly dexterous person. I love it.

Great styling!!
Being about 6'3'' and weighing in at about 265, there aren't many performance cars that can comfortably seat someone who is 'big. HOWEVER, this car offered me more head room than my traded in almost new Americam made truck!My 2 adult sons osed to call my trade in lots of very nasty names and finally I decided to buy my dream car before I expire. The standard package is impressive on the 09's and the car has handled very well. I get 24 mpg on normal driving, which is not too bad.The sunroof is enormous and one almost feels like he is riding in a convertable. A blast to drive, the 128i is a terrific entry level car.
What a hoot!
Man what a hoot to drive the 135i is!!! I personally like the quirky, funky body design, it is wicked fast, sounds great, grips the road like a scalded cat on a carpet, has excellent build quality and materials, and turns heads all over town. Aside from the requisite nits every car has that the manufacturer hopes nobody notices but everybody does, I could not be happier with this car.
Love my 128i
What can you say about a car that makes your eyes tear up when you look at it? The styling is retro enough to make you skip a heartbeat, yet new enough to make you double your heartbeats. The performance is top notch (with the Sports package of course). It's fun to drive, fast, and BEAUTIFUL to look at.
