The 2013 BMW 1 Series is a small luxury sports car focused on driving enjoyment. It offers strong performance, excellent handling, and a premium brand image, but it sacrifices interior space, modern technology, and low maintenance costs.Mar 14, 2026

Ive bdeen driving the Onderful One since 2009! My current model is a 2013 128i 6spd manual RWD and I could not be happier with it. Great performance, reliable in any weather, sturdy, 50/50 balance. My forever car. Hope it lasts me another 10 years!Mar 01, 2023

Love my 2008 135i. The power transfer of the twin turbo straight 6 is so smooth. It doesnt feel like youre pushing the accelerator, its more like youre opening the floodgate to unlimited power. 300HP in this tiny nimble car makes for a lot of embarrassed challengers at stoplights. No, your V6 Mustang isnt going to keep up with it. Your V8 wont either.Jan 19, 2023
