2008 BMW 1 Series 128i

Sweet time capsule car from the estate of a gentleman who kept it at his vacation home and used it VERY sparingly as can be attested by the steady and slow mileage progression through the years. Always garaged indoors in a climate-controlled environment and it shows, the headlights are crystal clear, all rubber is flexible with no cracks, and the paint is in great shape. A brand new set of tires has been installed, the interior is well-maintained and extra clean with no rips, cracks, or scuffs. The convertible top shows no signs of having been down frequently as there are no rips, wrinkles, or creases on the canvas. The 2,996 cc (183 cu in) BMW N52 naturally aspirated straight-six gasoline engine is functioning properly and has no issues. It revs smoothly with ample power as BMW inline sixes should and are famous for. It is rated at 170 kW (228 bhp) at 6,500 rpm power and 270 Nm (199 lb/ft) at 2,750 rpm torque. The 6L45 6-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly and can be controlled with paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The automatic, thermostatically controlled air conditioning system works properly and blows cold. The power-adjustable seats feature heaters and a dual memory setting for the driver. The brakes are in great condition, the ashtray is pristine and the interior shows no signs of ever having been smoked in. This vehicle does not come with a spare key, the original tool kit is in the trunk and shows no signs of having ever been used. This is a great opportunity to acquire an early 1-series BMW convertible with the venerable 3.0-liter six-cylinder inline engine in a condition as close as you can get to a practically new 15-year-old car that has seen the kind of very light use that helps keep cars in great shape and top operating condition. With their fantastic combination of light weight, small size, and powerful engine, these cars have captured a place in the hearts of enthusiasts and are certain to appreciate in value and rarity as they age, becoming bona fide collectibles in the great Bavarian tradition.
