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?

Nice buy. I've always really liked the 1 series.

How does it drive?

Nice choice! I love the 1-series.

Is it better than the E36 in every imaginable way, shape, and form?

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).

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).

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.

What's the curb weight on it??

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.

Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire > Brian Silvestro 01/20/2015 at 21:19

It's lighter than the e36

Brian Silvestro > Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire 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

Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire > Brian Silvestro 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.

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.

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.

But my car has actual torque and horsepower, and better steering feel, and a real roof, and isn't a 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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
