BMW 128i - which one is the one to buy

[aea730]

Guys, Ive had a quick search through the posts on the 128ti and can’t find anything similar. I’m hovering over the auto trader ads for the 128 but as a stranger to the brand I’m not sure on what are the essential options on this model.

They all seem to be 25 - 30k but what are the best options on the car, any help would be appreciated

I would look for all the modern tech which BMW’s should come with these days:

Apple Carplay

Heated Seats & Steering

Sunroof

Harmon Kardon Audio

It comes down to personal preference to and what you can and can’t live without.

128ti is an excellent all rounder. I picked up one of the last new ones in June 24.
Handles really well . Fast. Interior is a nice mix of touchscreen and buttons. Mpg is good as well. Mid 30s around town/b roads
Hk sound is banging.
Mine has metallic / heated wheel/Harmon kardon. And that's it. And that's how I wanted it.
The ride of mine on 18s is ok. A bit tense on some roads but it's a gti.
19s I would be wary about! All the press cars were on 18s for a reason and car was optimised for 18s.
For road tax , Make sure the rrp was under 40k as well. As most later cars were high 30s/low 40s.
