2010 BMW 128i Coupe | POV Walkaround & Test Drive (Binaural Audio)

[@Meechy273]

Drove one recently, and i can say it is a little rocket. I love it and it 100% can be a daily for me, i plan on buying one soon, because its lowkey yet a fun car!

[@marklatlip3057]

I could watch your cruise around in that countryside in this little car all day long

[@DailyDrivers]

It was an absolute blast!

[@untiringtimes]

I can say you are really good driver, followed all proper road instructions like waiting on stop sign , givi g signals and all❤

[@AnthonyStromDesign]

I would not consider this a step down. Normally aspirated engine (n52) is reliable and easier to work on then the turbo (n54-n55) engine. It does have smaller brakes then the 135i. But still a ton of fun to toss around. There is an M-sport version of the 128i as well.

[@Kilmej78]

That is the reason I went with a 128 I daily it and did not want the repair costs of thoes turbos and carbon build up of direct injection.

[@finemperor3694]

Yeah yall keep telling yourselves that.

[@Thinh981]

@@finemperor3694 what do you mean? Is the N52 not that good like they say it to be?

[@kashikoi12453]

I drive an RS3 which can basically blow the doors off most cars, M3s included. I also have a 6MT 128I, and let me tell you, that car is more fun to drive on the streets. More engaging, awesome feeling hydraulic steering, and I can push the heck out of it without landing in handcuffs.

[@AnthonyStromDesign]

@@finemperor3694 you either have a deep pocket, or never own a 135i.

[@theoking4658]

I just bought one because I loved the feel of it during my test drive. I cant wait to pick it up.

[@thevacdude]

I like this, only thing I'd change is beige instead of black interior.

[@nickiminaj6921]

What is that clicking nose he activates before switching lanes or turning 😅

[@DailyDrivers]

I know right! Bmws aren't supposed to be using those!

[@anotherguy6795]

Great video Keep up this good quality and consistentse youl be big eventually

[@GL-ws7kp]

Can I drive this thing in the winter tho? I want to get one but that kinda scares me away

[@jonathancocky8061]

Question, which one is better for daily drive, this one 128i or the 328i???

[@wavytrini5645]

Depends on if you need the extra space or not. Same engine and transmission combinations with a 300lb weight difference. So it really comes down to which you prefer looks wise and if you want a sedan or coupe

[@daveed4475]

still love mine, after 12 years

[@eduardogomez-ph4su]

Could it be used as a daily?

[@daveed4475]

@@eduardogomez-ph4su That's how I've used it. Although I'm retired now and don't need to drive daily.

[@Elbaby-zn6xl]

I love mine amazing not a pain at all only check engine and its bc i have muffler delete

[@natlovesfashion27]

I don't know if you know this but the 128i is well considered the best out of the 1 series by BMW experts. They feel the engine and ride is actually better in the 128i than the 135. So, its actually not a step down as you said. Just FYI ..

[@DailyDrivers]

I just meant in power is all. The car itself was fantastic!

[@nicknoonkester4852]

That paddle shifter going both ways is pretty stupid lol I'm glad my 2013 128i has one way shifters that are normal

[@pornpimolpollaro2055]

Is there different of 2009?

[@DailyDrivers]

Hope as far as I'm aware, nothing has changed between 09 and 10!

[@traviswhite771]

How would you compare this to a 15 vw gti? Also would it fit a babyseat in the back?

[@DailyDrivers]

A baby seat would be very cramped. And it's a completely different car. The performance is there, but being RWD vs FWD, they're gonna handle in a way that is not comparable.

[@matteo512]

Babyseat its ok in the back but after 4 month il can tell, i want 3 séries now 😅

[@angel-og.8261]

I have found this car great for toddlers in a booster seat.

[@timothycrum1535]

@@DailyDriversI have a car seat in the back of mine. Cramped but ok

[@moflow1548]

Do these cars have issues and break down often? I’m considering buying one with 128k miles but i hear a lot of stuff about bmw

[@DailyDrivers]

The more powerful engine in the same family, the N54, has its fair share of issues. However this engine is just fine. It's the same engine without the use of turbochargers. That engine is in the 135i. 2 of my friends have 135i's and they love them and make great power, however it is a car that needs constant tinkering. But you shouldn't have any worries with a 128.

[@Boasandpythons]

Maintenance is your best friend when it comes to any European car. A well taken care of N52 engine is very reliable. Also, it's just a nice and smooth engine!

[@obi_lucas2042]

⁠​⁠@@Boasandpythonshey I was looking at the same car but it’s a convertible and has 91 thousand miles it’s 5k is it a good deal ?

[@Boasandpythons]

​@@obi_lucas2042just make sure the previous owner has done their maintenance. Ask if the electric water pump and thermostat has been replaced. Check the cam cover and oil pans. BMWs love to leak oil from their gaskets. The cam cover isn't to bad to replace. BMW parts are not that expensive, but BMW labor is ridiculous. Working on them isn't that bad.

[@nickiminaj6921]

Does anybody know what year of the 128i come with comfort access as that is a must for me

[@AnthonyStromDesign]

I have a Msport 2009 and 2013 (last year for US production) my 2013 has comfort access. I believe the 2012 was when it started. Good luck on your search for a 128i!

[@mark_e82]

nissan maxima for the win

[@sleepercell9926]

Why do people insist on putting stupid decals on these cars?

[@rocktauber]

Same reason Stupid People insist on posting comments from what I see.

[@sleepercell9926]

@@rocktauber Your right, in retrospect the German flag ahead of the rear wheels really does make the car look so much better. It looks really cool now and so very very classy.
