No one really cares, but here it is, my new car (cue the music)
GROUNDED TO THE GROUND!!!!!!!!!!
Ha, just fucking with you, here it actually is:
2010 BMW 128i in Space Grey
The only options are the M-Sport Suspension, Sport-seats, and higher speed governor. With a manual transmission, no sunroof, manual seats, and sport suspension this is my car.

I approve of this. You get an insignificant shadow of the internet's approval. You should be very honored. Now, Where will the Oppo sticker go?
![]() 01/20/2015 at 18:23 |

Nice buy. I've always really liked the 1 series.
How does it drive?

First order of business getting this chrome blackened out?

Damn that actually tricked me for a second.
Don't scare us like that, Arch Duke!

Same!
![]() 01/20/2015 at 18:25 |

Nice choice! I love the 1-series.
Is it better than the E36 in every imaginable way, shape, and form?
![]() 01/20/2015 at 18:25 |

Damn nice color you got there.

I have the same seats in my car. They're the best OEM seats I've ever sat in.

*Insert Praise of your choice*
![]() 01/20/2015 at 18:39 |

Wouldn't have thought you could still get manual seats in a BMW. Nice pick up
![]() 01/20/2015 at 18:39 |

I wanted this exact car. I couldn't find this car.
I love it. God speed

Well then you're no one, really.

Literally a beige Camry.
I was pissed until I clicked the jump. 10/10
![]() 01/20/2015 at 18:41 |

Any initial thoughts?
![]() 01/20/2015 at 18:42 |

Congrats- nice BMW!
![]() 01/20/2015 at 18:44 |
|
Less options, less things to break!
But really doe, nice pick up. I am randomly curious how this compares dimensionally to your old car.
![]() 01/20/2015 at 18:51 |
|
Well, I was going to congratulate you on buying a car simply to troll oppo., but I see you went the cheap route on the trolling and spent the money on a worthwhile car instead. So I guess you get a 5/10 for the trolling effort (Those eastern European judges don't like to be tricked).
![]() 01/20/2015 at 18:59 |

Good choice.
![]() 01/20/2015 at 19:04 |

When I saw the Camry, my reaction was more like this -
![]() 01/20/2015 at 19:06 |

I came to say
Always a fucken a Camry

Next mod: LSD
LSD is a MUST!

THAT ENGINE NEEDS AN ESS SUPERCHARGER STAT! (inb4 IT DOESNT COME WITH A WARRATY DURR. ESS will provide a warranty for the supercharger and its related components).

A front plate will be the only body mod.
![]() 01/20/2015 at 19:50 |
|
No, it really doesn't need that.
![]() 01/20/2015 at 19:52 |

The stereo sucks in comparison as does the engine noise and clutch feel.

Amazeballs.

Want to give me $3,000 to do that?
![]() 01/20/2015 at 19:54 |
|
It just showed up today and I had to wait for the financial shit to clear.
![]() 01/20/2015 at 19:58 |
|
Nice, dude! Does it have an Oppo sticker yet? I'll keep an eye out around the Nati
![]() 01/20/2015 at 20:02 |
|
No sticker, and probably won't ever put stickers on it. But if you see some jerkface in a grey 128i, it's probably me.
![]() 01/20/2015 at 20:03 |
|
What's the curb weight on it??
![]() 01/20/2015 at 20:06 |
|
Let's be honest, a car this great could have only be made better with manual seats.
![]() 01/20/2015 at 20:10 |
|
I was worried you actually bought a Camry.
![]() 01/20/2015 at 20:53 |
|
It's a porker, 3,252 lbs.
![]() 01/20/2015 at 21:16 |
|
Damn, I thought it would be at least noticeably lighter than the 2 Series. But it's about on par.
Still a damn nice car.
![]() 01/20/2015 at 21:19 |
|
It's lighter than the e36
![]() 01/20/2015 at 21:25 |
|
what I said initially:
Then I looked it up, and I can't really find a curb weight anywhere because I don't feel like looking hard enough
![]() 01/20/2015 at 21:30 |
|
My E36 is on the heavier side (sunroof+iron block DOHC I6+power every thing+sedan) so about 3,300 but less than the convertible models were.
![]() 01/20/2015 at 21:35 |
|
well shit
BMWs are fat as fuck
![]() 01/20/2015 at 21:37 |
|
But dat 50/50 weight distribution and lack of unsprung weight doe.
![]() 01/20/2015 at 21:37 |
|
Holy crap that is epic! I think this was exactly as you wanted? If so, lucky you, hope you enjoy it as much as that E36.
Keep the photos coming.

Ohhh shiny
![]() 01/20/2015 at 21:50 |

Saw that Camry and I was about ready to Google "how to call an ambulance for an internet stranger."
![]() 01/20/2015 at 21:50 |
|
Yeah, it's not the full ///M-Sport package (no ///M badges or body kit) so it's better really. Also got a hell of a price compared to the others out there.
![]() 01/20/2015 at 22:07 |
|
but miatas have that too!
![]() 01/20/2015 at 22:09 |
|
I'd also ditch the ///M Badges. Well, there was no loss here!
![]() 01/20/2015 at 22:10 |
|
But my car has actual torque and horsepower, and better steering feel, and a real roof, and isn't a Miata.
![]() 01/20/2015 at 22:12 |

MIATA IS ALWAYS THE ANSWER
HAIL MIATA

That temp-plate looks as if it's from North Carolina. Is it?
Anyway, I've always loved the 1-Series, I kinda prefer it over the new 2.
![]() 01/21/2015 at 00:20 |
|
Well that's about as good as non 1M 1 series get, I am jealous. Do you like the wheels or might it be getting a different wheel situation?
![]() 01/21/2015 at 00:31 |
|
one of the very last, good N/A inline 6 BMW engines... Kudos.
![]() 01/21/2015 at 00:53 |
|
Tell the truth. Did you test drive the Camry?
![]() 01/21/2015 at 00:58 |
|
BMW is the cheap uncle of the luxury car world. I think the only thing that comes standard is power locks and windows and AC. Leather is still an option.
![]() 01/21/2015 at 00:59 |
|
It's about 400lbs lighter.
![]() 01/21/2015 at 06:58 |

The wheels are just fine, 17x7's in the front and 17x7.5's in the rear.
![]() 01/21/2015 at 07:01 |
|
No and I didn't even test drive the 1.

I have only sat in a 1. It seemed like it had a decent amount of room. What powers it?

225's all round?
![]() 01/21/2015 at 20:46 |

Honestly, I've been hoping for this outcome. One of the few perfectly optioned 1ers out there! Congrats! Space gray's my favorite BMW color, even. A 3IM, AA headers, and an AA tune will put this right up there with a 135i for ~$2,000 looking long term, but with the most perfectest straight six to come in a modern car.

It's plenty fast as is, it's about all anyone can actually use on the streets.
![]() 01/21/2015 at 21:31 |

I totally agree. The N52 is a rev happy engine that makes plenty of power and can actually be wrung out every once in a while. I'm just putting there in case at some point you look into mods a few years in the future as they only build on the engine's strong points and are a good value. Personally, I'd only do those after a while of owning the car and getting used to it. A 128i 6M sport pkg is one of the best cars I've driven.
