About BMW 128i
While the BMW 1 Series coupe and convertible share chassis components with the larger 3 Series, the smaller car sacrifices most rear seat legroom for nimble handling. The new 320-hp 135is fills the void left by the discontinued 335-hp 1 Series M and 300-hp 135i. The 135is, like the 135i, is powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter I-6 engine. While both vehicles use a single twin-scroll turbo, the 135is adds 17 lb-ft of torque for a total of 317 lb-ft. Both turbo models are available with either a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Regardless of power level, the EPA-rated fuel economy is 20/28 mpg city/highway and 18/25 mpg. Turbocharged convertible manual cars get 19 mpg in the city. The 128i remains the base model, with a naturally aspirated 230-hp, 200-lb-ft engine mated to a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. The manual 128i gets 19/28 mpg, while the automatic gets 18/28 mpg. Automatic 128i convertibles get 27 mpg on the highway.
Our last test of the naturally aspirated 1 Series was in 2008, with no power changes to the 128i. That vehicle hit 60 mph in 5.7 seconds. In terms of the 1 Series’ handling, we stated that with the “The 128i feels fluid and composed around mountain roads thanks to the sport package, which stiffens the suspension and adds more rubber. During less energetic driving, the 128i
makes for an efficient commuter” The small BMW beat the automaker’s claim “to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds, our test machine consistently ripped off 4.7-second runs, easily besting the factory estimate” in a quick test of a 2008 135i. We revisited the 135i in 2011, concluding that “as long as the 135i isn’t your track car (which, in all likelihood, it wouldn’t be), and you have the coin, the little two-door shines as a fast, sure-footed, and understated Bavarian barnstormer.”
