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)

My happy place is behind the wheel of my cute little Beamer. I call her Dr. Bernie, my therapist.

135 vs a4 cabriolet

I had a 2002 Audi TT roadster, my wife was concerned over its size, I bought a 2005 Audi A4 cabriolet 3.0 FWD sport package and CVT trans. It was a good cruiser but too polite, it always felt heavy. I just bought a 2009 BMW 135i convertible, Sport package premium package with 6 spd. I love this car. I think the criticism of the 1 series stems from the base models some can look a bit plain. In sport trim they are beautiful. A friend has a 2010 boxter S and could not walk away from me. I was looking for a BMW 335 and after several test drive I went for the 135 It answers all I wanted 300 hp plus 4 seats when i need it, and you don't see it on every corner. FABULOUS!
