Mine is a 2009 cabrio with the n52 and it has been both fun to drive and reliable so far. In my mind, this is the last “real” BMW before they became bloated and 4 cylinder powered.
I just purchased a 2008 BMW 128i (E88) convertible for a great price. The car has plenty of power from inline 6 cylinder engine. Open-air driving experience is amazing! Great body style and nice interiors along with reliable engine makes it a classic BMW.
Hey man thanks for the video. I’m also interested in purchasing the same vehicle ( an auto) in Canada for 7500 but it has gasket valve issue be fixed. Do you think it’s worth it as a first time BMW owner?
If it is valve cover gasket, i think its worth it. They are not too difficult you can do it on your own at home. I did mine on my Z4. It took me about 3 hrs and $85 gasket from rockauto.
No i didn’t sell porsche to buy these two cars lol. I sold it because someone offered more money than I paid for. And these two cars were great deal at the time.
128 좋습니다. 전 2개째 타고 있어요. 산길 와인딩 용으로 딱입니다 N52 엔진은 직접 뚝딱뚝딱 하기 좋고 maintenance 쉽습니다. 6 speed는 필수 옵션이고, 적어도 sport 패키지가 선호되고 레어템으로는 msport 패키지가 최고 옵션입니다. 추가로 n52 엔진은 그시대 많은 bmw모델에 사용되어 오랜시간동안 부품 수급도 가능하고 used engine도 많이 존재할것이나, 300k mi이상 주행하는 경우가 흔히 존재하기에 오래오래 가지고 있기 좋습니다. 그리고 e82 (135i, 128i)는 bmw가 제일 마지막으로 hydraulic steering 시스템을 적용한 모델이라 우리가 동경하는 그 bmw만의 쫄깃한 운전감을 느낄수있는 마지막 모델이기에 소장가치가 존재하는 모델입니다.
I love the 128i. Mine is a 2012 but I am in the middle of LS3 swapping it.
Oh wow. That will be a crazy. I didn’t know it even have space for LS engine

Oh yeah. I am not fan of 4 cyl luxury car either.
Just bought one this year and love it!

Whats a good price for it?
Looking to get an 128i m sport this week super excited great video
My 128i bmw 😢 needs love but it’s my everything
planning on buying in 2024, what would you suggest I upgrade to it to make it run nicely?
Please don’t rev a car while in a closed garage. It could kill you from carbon monoxide
Haha thank you. I opened my door right after. Thanks for letting me know!
How does the 128i feel vs the Z4? I am wondering because i am looking at both of these cars now.

wow thats a great deal. I keep looking for an e82 with cic and manual but its hard to find them
You started the engine in a closed up garage. I call that being fearless.
I don’t think it matters much in short period
i wana find a 128i manual for $5,000 in Miami
Did you sell the porsche to buy both of these? Why not buy a 135i and build it

Is this the one that was on marketplace in Calgary? With the PCV problems
Nono. That’s different guy. He had white leather sear. This is black.
@@Calgaryagent ah you’re right. I remember that now.
많은 참고 됐습니다 이번에 미국 들어가면서 128i를 계속 보고있었는데 필요한 정보를 잘 말씀해주시네요!
128 과 135 많이 보실텐데. 128이 관리하기엔 수월해요. N54 엔진 들어가면 이리저리 돈 많이 들긴해요. 하지만 1M에 들어가는 엔진이라 서스관련 부품만 교체해주면 1M 못지않은 driving experience 받을수 있습니다
