135 Vs 128 Engine
I was planning on buying a 1 series car but was still debating which kind to get. I was hoping to keep the car for a while ( more than 5 years) and was wondering how the 135 engine is compared to the 128 engine, in terms of maintenance and gas mileage?
Will it cost a lot more to maintain, does it last as long? What kind of gas mileage do both engines have? |

Well, I did test drive both. And I liked both. Obviously I liked the 335 more But I don't want a car that will cost me thousands of dollars more down the line when I can avoid it by getting a 128....

I know what you mean, especially if my best friend, who is also buying the 135, brings it over and I have to hear how great the engine is and how well it performs. I will always feel like I am missing out on something. But I am sure the 128 will also be a blast to drive. It's really up to you to determine which one suits your needs.

There is no cost of maintenance... at least for 4 years. So owning it over extended years should mean near nothing. Gas mileage between the 2 are insignificant..! It comes down to wether or not you need the performance the 135i offers..! -Garrett |

You have a 4yr/50,000 mile warranty so you'll get a pretty good idea during that period how reliable it is. If it turns out not to be reliable sell it before the warranty expires or buy the extended 6yr/100,000 mile warranty from BMW.

If there were a futures market in engine longevity, I think the money would heavily favor the 128i engine lasting longer and giving fewer problems than the 135i engine.
Ceterus paribus, turbos, heat, and pressure decrease engine life. :iono: |

I had a 328i coupe for 2 days as a loaner just last week, and it pulls hard as hell. I was very impressed on how good the engine pulls for being the lower powered of the current I-6 family. Super nice driver.
