A big thanks from a new owner
I’ve been lurking here awhile and just wanted to register to say thanks.
I just got my 128i convertible today and could not be happier with it. I won’t be doing any mods and 0-60 times don’t really mean much to me - I just need enough performance to make my daily commute both easier and more enjoyable. And the 128i will suit those needs just fine. So I probably won’t be posting a whole lot here, but I did want to thank you all for providing me an honest education on the 1 series that this forum is. I went into the dealership knowing more than the dealer about the 1 and that was due in large part to the reading I’ve done here. So again, a big thank you from all of us lurkers. Keep up the good work! P.S. The only thing I cannot understand for the life of me is the opinion that this car is somehow unattractive. I was drooling from the first time I saw it. |

Hey Rawhide,
Thanks for coming out', playing in the sandbox. You'll find the car grows on you more and more. Even those of us who did not really care for the looks of the thing have warmed up to our little hot rod's appearance. Welcome to 1ADDICTS.:smile:

Thanks for the welcomes everyone.
It's been a good two days cruising around and getting a feel for the car. But I need to get the windows tinted so nobody can see the big goofy grin on my face every time I'm behind the wheel. :thumbup: |

Well one weekend and 330 miles later I’m left with the following impressions:
1. Damn I love this car 2. Other divers seem to hate me suddenly. I’ve been subjected to an unusual number of cut-offs, fly-bys, and other aggressive actions. 3. The BMW roundel seems to have a strange effect on women :w00t: 4. I now have a rag in the trunk specifically for wiping off brake dust 5. 45 degrees is still too cold to put the top down 6. Damn I love this car |
