2008 BMW 1-Series Description

The 1-Series is offered in two different two-door body styles: a coupe or soft-top-equipped convertible. Both of these body styles can be specified in 128i or 135i form. The 128i comes with a 230-horsepower, 3.0L in-line 6-cylinder engine, while the 135i models get a 300-hp, 3.0L turbocharged six. Both of these rear-wheel drive models come with a standard 6-speed manual transmission that, in BMW tradition, provides great car control as well as a satisfying, tactile experience. Newly available on the 135i is a 7-speed dual-clutch (DCT) gearbox that enables very quick automated shifts along with improved acceleration and fuel economy. With the DCT, the 135i can now get to 60 mph in just 5.0 seconds and brings a fuel economy rating of 18 mpg city/25 highway--the same as the standard manual transmission. The turbocharged, direct-injected engine in the 135i has also been significantly changed for 2010. It trades the former twin-turbo setup for a single twin-scroll turbo that improves low-rev response and enables its peak torque rating of 300 lb-ft at as low as 1,200 rpm. The 1-Series has a responsive but not overly firm ride, with a double-pivot spring and strut front suspension and rear control arms. A variable-ratio Active Steering system, which varies both the ratio and level of assist for quicker response, is optional on the 135i.In Convertible models, the top can be raised and lowered even when moving slowly (up to 25 mph), and can go from up to fully down in just 22 seconds, and the arrangement doesn't inhibit trunk space as some retractable hard-top systems do. In either model, there's also an opening with expandable bag that allows long items like a snowboard or golf bag to fit through. The silhouette of the 1-Series convertible is much like that of the coupe when it's up. A slightly different trunklid design in convertibles helps accent the design and improve visibility. Convertible models also include a special climate-control mode that reacts to the level of sunlight, and optional Boston leather has a sun-reflective treatment that helps reduce temps on hot days. An available wind deflector helps bring a quieter, less turbulent interior at highway speeds. Whether in the coupe or convertible, there's plenty of space to sprawl in the front seats, though the back seat is quite tight. The BMW's Dynamic Stability Control is designed to allow a little more dynamic flexibility when driving the 1-Series quickly; the higher threshold helps not only in track driving but also in snow. A special rear-brake management mode helps simulate a rear differential and get a stronger grip either out of a fast corner or in slippery conditions.A much more aggressive look--almost like that of the larger M3--as well as a little more performance can be achieved with the M Sport Package. It brings aero upgrades, flashier wheels, sport seats, special M-branded trim pieces, and an exclusive LeMans Blue Metallic paint color, plus functional improvements that include a higher top speed, better brake cooling, a Sports Suspension, and performance tires. With the 135i, brakes are upgraded to a strong 6-piston setup in front (2-piston in back).Entertainment options include a harman/kardon surround-sound system, HD radio, Sirius Satellite Radio, USB/iPod controls, while a Bluetooth hands-free interface is available. Meanwhile, a heated steering wheel is available on both models as part of a Cold Weather Package, and heated seats are available. A hard-drive-based navigation system with real-time traffic info is also available. Adaptive xenon headlamps, which help improve vision in dark corners, are standard on the 135i and optional on the 128i. Also, LED Adaptive Brake Lights grow brighter depending on the brake force. That's in addition to plenty of standard safety equipment, including stability control, side airbags, and brake-drying and brake stand-by functions. The M badge has always signified true performance design. For 2011, BMW fin
This is a 2008 128i convertible with the m sport package, luxury package and cold weather package. It has very low miles only 45,200 miles. It has 1m front and rear bumpers and quad exhaust. It has a carbon fiber replica hood. It has aftermarket hid headlights that give it a much newer look. It is in very nice condition inside and out. It appears to have been stored inside most of its life. The black top is not faded at all and is in excellent condition. It also appears that this bmw has never been driven in the snow. There is no rust anywhere on the car not even the under body. This car is very fun to drive handles amazing and gets noticed everywhere. It has the 6 speed automatic transmission with sport and manual modes with paddle shifters on the steering wheel. It also has heated leather seats.
Mechanically this car is almost like new. The engine is in great running condition. There are no leaks coming from the engine compartment. The transmission shifts smoothly through every gear. The suspension is in great shape makes no noises of any kind. The car drives straight and true no vibrations or pulling. The brakes are firm and stop the car quickly if needed. The A/C is working great and can really crank out the cold air. The convertible top opens and closes without any issues. All the windows work good and are aligned properly. All of the glass looks great no chips or cracks of any kind. The tires are in good shape, are evenly worn and have a good amount of tread left.
The paint color is cashmere silver metallic. The exterior looks great there are however some small imperfections. There is one small ding on the passenger side quarter panel. There is a small amount of curb rash on the rims. There are a few very tiny chips in the paint. The 1m bumpers really add to cosmetic appearance of this 128i. As well as the afermarket hid headlights with halo's and led's.
The interior is in excellent condition with almost no wear at all. The seats look and feel great. All interior functions are working as they should. There does not appear to be any stains on the carpet although the original floor mats are looking a little worn. There is one small nick in the leather on the passenger door its about a 1/4 inch long.
Overall this is great used 128i convertible. It only has 45,200 miles. It has been in an accident before and the body work does look very nice but I would say that it isnt perfect. I would rate the exterior an 8 out of 10. The interior I would rate 9 out of 10 and mechanically I would rate it a 9.5 out of 10.
Payment is due within three days of the auction ending unless you contact me first and need more time. The car has to be paid for in full prior to delivery. You may inspect and test the vehicle before the auction ends. Please only bid if you plan on following through with purchase. The vehicle is currently located in Traverse City Mi. I will be traveling to the tampa bay area the first week of august and can deliver the vehicle either in florida or along the way. If its out of my way just ask how much it would cost to deliver the car. I thought I might have a better chance listing it down in florida as convertibles are more desirable. Kbb private party retail is 15,500 for this car and rough trade in value is 12,000. This is a steal at this price. I can also swap out the hood if you want the stock one.
