As someone who works for a BMW Center, I can whole-heartedly recommend the 128i to someone like yourself. It’s a fun little car, returns good fuel economy, IS dead reliable.

The N52 is an excellent rev happy little engine. If you can find one with Sport Package & Premium Package(preferably with a 6MT) you will be…

That is exactly the case, I code my clients cars on a regular basis. It’s such a simple thing to add so much functionality to a vehicle.

You should know though, someone like myself can code the car to “Equip It” with the enhanced Bluetooth and USB Option, which would get you the Voice Activation and Siri “eyes free” function. If you haven’t already Google “BMW Esys Coding”
