Mine is a 2009 cabrio with the n52 and it has been both fun to drive and reliable so far. In my mind, this is the last “real” BMW before they became bloated and 4 cylinder powered.
I just purchased a 2008 BMW 128i (E88) convertible for a great price. The car has plenty of power from inline 6 cylinder engine. Open-air driving experience is amazing! Great body style and nice interiors along with reliable engine makes it a classic BMW.
128 좋습니다. 전 2개째 타고 있어요. 산길 와인딩 용으로 딱입니다 N52 엔진은 직접 뚝딱뚝딱 하기 좋고 maintenance 쉽습니다. 6 speed는 필수 옵션이고, 적어도 sport 패키지가 선호되고 레어템으로는 msport 패키지가 최고 옵션입니다. 추가로 n52 엔진은 그시대 많은 bmw모델에 사용되어 오랜시간동안 부품 수급도 가능하고 used engine도 많이 존재할것이나, 300k mi이상 주행하는 경우가 흔히 존재하기에 오래오래 가지고 있기 좋습니다. 그리고 e82 (135i, 128i)는 bmw가 제일 마지막으로 hydraulic steering 시스템을 적용한 모델이라 우리가 동경하는 그 bmw만의 쫄깃한 운전감을 느낄수있는 마지막 모델이기에 소장가치가 존재하는 모델입니다.
Hey man thanks for the video. I’m also interested in purchasing the same vehicle ( an auto) in Canada for 7500 but it has gasket valve issue be fixed. Do you think it’s worth it as a first time BMW owner?
If it is valve cover gasket, i think its worth it. They are not too difficult you can do it on your own at home. I did mine on my Z4. It took me about 3 hrs and $85 gasket from rockauto.
No i didn’t sell porsche to buy these two cars lol. I sold it because someone offered more money than I paid for. And these two cars were great deal at the time.
