128i45/70
The Deal
8
$8,030, and the cheaper 128i is the one with the better engine.
The Drive
6
230 hp and 13.9 lb/hp, from a rear-drive naturally-aspirated straight-six.
The Upkeep
6
$4,852/yr. $1,670 to insure, $700 to service.
The Risk
7
No catastrophic mode at all, and about six things that each cost $400 to $800.
The Daily
6
A 2+2 coupe with a real boot and a cabin a class above its price.
The Limit
7
D Street, rear drive, and it shares a class with the GR86.
The Mods
5
No cheap power at all. Spend it on tyres, suspension and brakes.
