5 THINGS I HATE ABOUT MY BMW 128i

[@abdulroyan7586]

Having the 135i I decided to downgrade to the 128i cause there is just much more reliability with and less headaches with the NA N52. Still fun for daily road use tho

[@tothemax0729]

128i more reliable -no turbos

[@cwallace9522]

tothemax0729 reason I bought the 128 over 135

[@keanusalimi1750]

Temp guage, oil level, squeaky plastics.....but honestly worth it for around 10k given the amount of fun i have daily'ing the car

[@dnazoom6850]

Get an aftermarket stereo that’s come with navigation like google maps

[@lifeofmario9137]

Do you recommend any?

[@ArticulateArena]

Apparently they don't show the temp because it's supposed to run hot and they don't want people freaking out about it. BUT it is weird it doesn't have a screen in a 2012.

[@angelsoto8989]

This is first time I own bmw and I got 2010 128i really like power but all those things u mentioned really annoyed me especially the temp gauge that really sucks

[@lifeofmario9137]

Exactly.

[@smear7331]

Nav and keyless start dont bother me, but the no coolant gauge, fact there’s a 135 and gas mileage does get to me. The mpg can be helped if u baby the car, but then it’s no fun. Car gets good mpg if driving regularly. my brother’s 328i w turbo 4 gets good mileage even when he is beating on it

[@lifeofmario9137]

I feel you bro we on the same boat.

[@d3admaub938]

Your brother turbod a 328?

[@jankurtyka]

I get 20mpg in 135i while being an aggressive driver. I would look for some causes, maybe Vanos solenoids?

[@lifeofmario9137]

I’m a check this out tomorrow

[@Druwoods]

The only thing I hate about my 2008 128i is that it eats tires.

[@lifeofmario9137]

What tires do you have?

[@Druwoods]

It's really more of a driving style issue, not a tire issue. See I cut the muffler off mine and it makes such lovely noise that I tend to keep the revs high and the rear end loaded up.

[@marcorodriguez719]

Bruh regardless if you in a 135 or 128. You still hold it down for the 1 series. Love your vids bruh. I have a 2011 128 with the msport package. Evwn though its a na engine their is still alot of hp to be had. Anyways good luck on the 135i bruv. Much love from denver co.

[@lifeofmario9137]

Thanks bro, I appreciate it. The Ones are always going to be on my channel. Once I get another one we have to see how far I can push it! What type of video would you like to see next?

[@123456bmx]

Bro you can get digital oil temp on hidden menu 7.also the electronic dipstick makes it easier like wtf? You can check the oil at 100mph

[@lifeofmario9137]

The only reason why I was complaining is because you can’t test the oil level right after an oil change there’s no way you need to drive the car for a bit and the electronic dipstick isn’t always accurate they’re faulty. My boy is a bmw expert and has worked for bmw over 10 years that’s the one thing he always complains about bmw cheaped out on that. On the 135 there’s a gauge right there

[@gx5729]

BRUH UR TRIPPIN! Ur car key charges itself and is way more secure than keyless entry. And who the fuck wants nav I’d rather have one w out.

[@ryaniranon3145]

My 2013 bmw 128i has a keyless start

[@lifeofmario9137]

Lucky

[@natlovesfashion27]

The reason he doesn't like the 1 series is unfounded to me. It was developed to make owning a BMW affordable for those that normally couldn't. So, it's not going to have all the bells and whistles the other series has! You get the BMW motor and drive experience for less! That was the concept behind the development of the 1 series. If you want more in a BMW, then you have to spend more for a higher series.

[@curtisww33]

The 440i does not have a twin turbo, it has a twin scroll turbo. The M4 has twin turbo.

[@lifeofmario9137]

Thanks homie now I know.

[@curtisww33]

@@lifeofmario9137 No problem. Thanks for the Video

[@f22jax]

Nice video overall. Don’t fret man, because that 128i will save you the headache of owning a car with unreliable components. And please clean your car! Nice things should stay nice.

[@flippy3260]

How tf did u get 15 mpg it averages around like 25

[@lifeofmario9137]

My injectors were gone. Fixed that though now I’m getting like 20

Angel Alvarez ah

[@chris__702]

My diesel truck gets 15mpg. Lol

Nice bro

[@cwallace9522]

The 128 is amazing I’ve drove the 135i but the turbos can shit the bed

[@rowen898]

Your car is broken, i get 27mpg at wot. The fix is change you spark plugs, ignition coils and clean the maf. If that does not work then vanos cleaning.

[@lifeofmario9137]

Interesting bro I’m a look into that. My boy is bmw tech for 10 years now so I’ll have him take another look at it

[@rowen898]

@@lifeofmario9137 the bosch ignition calls are known to go bad over time and mine did not fail but killed my MPG and power. Get Eldor(BMW oem from a reseller) ignition coils with NGK plugs that match REALOEM. Use shell V-Power 91 gas and have your buddy run a VANOS and fuel pump diagnostics on ISTA D (takes 10min). You should have your power back after this.

[@lifeofmario9137]

Thanks bro I’m a try this out

[@123456bmx]

rowen898 I've had two 128's in tip top shape and can day you are full of shit!

[@1977tram]

Its the cheapest BMW. Consider getting the M6 Competition Edition or and M8?

[@lifeofmario9137]

M8

How much you gonna sell it for? Tryna sell my 2008 128i as well

[@lifeofmario9137]

I’m thinking around 12k that’s how much they’re selling around my area

[@emmanuelmijares9731]

@@lifeofmario9137 Ayye I'm in the Chicagoland area too and I've seen some 128s for as little as 7k and lower miles. Not tryna bash but false info sucks

[@DeloreanGuy2]

1st, you don't have the access package on your car which would let you start your car without putting the key in. Second, you mileage sucks because of the way you drive, not becuase of the car (unless is just runs like crap and you haven't been maintaining it, GOTTA stay up on the maintenance on these cars to have em running effeciently). Also, sure the turbos got more power, but they also are gonna break down faster and start leaking oil everywhere a lot faster than this engine would.

[@Kinuthya]

This car was designed to run hot for emissions purposes

[@jayloco7181]

the key thing looks fed tho
