I bought the 128 to drive to work every day. I wanted something with a solid mix of comfort, reliability, safety, economy, simplicity, and importantly, fun. At my salesman's recommendation, I picked the car up at BMW's South Carolina Performance Center. You supply the transportation, BMW puts you up in a nice hotel and you spend a day driving on their track, touring their factory where they make their SUV/SAV's , and visit the museum. It finishes with you taking delivery of your new car. I'd come in from Virginia, but there were folks from as far away as California who were going to drive cross-country in their new car. Fantastic experience...you come away with a new appreciation for BMW, its people, and the people who buy them. If you buy a new Bimmer, you must choose this option. Given expectations, the 128 is a perfect little machine for getting to work and running errands. Having grown up in Europe surrounded by little sedans that could put a smile on a driver's face (Cortina, Taunus, and of course Bimmers), the 128 continues the spirit of those machines in modern form.
