The entry-level 2011 BMW 128i is available in both coupe and convertible models and boasts a premium driving experience with all the available bells and whistles in a compact package.

The 2011 BMW 1 Series consists of the base 128i and turbocharged 135i. The 128i is BMW’s base coupe/convertible and is equipped with a 3.0-liter, 230-horsepower inline-six engine mated to a six-speed STEPTRONIC automatic with optional auto-manual shift or a six-speed manual transmission. Fuel estimates range from18 mpg in the city to 28 mpg on the highway. The fast and nimble rear-wheel drive 128i can race from 0-60 in an estimated 5.9 seconds, and competes against the likes of Mazda RX-8 and Nissan 370Z.

The 2011 BMW 128i rests on 17-inch alloy wheels and features standard heated side-view mirrors, rain-sensing wipers and a power soft top that can open or close in 22 seconds (on convertible models). Eight-way adjustable front seats, engine start/stop button, auxiliary input jack for audio devices and HD Radio are also standard.  Interior space in the 2011 BMW 128i is versatile with 60/40-split folding rear seats that provide enhanced trunk volume (up to 13 cubic feet). The convertible’s leather seats feature BMW’s sun reflective technology, which lowers the temperature of seating surfaces exposed to the sunlight. 

Optional equipment and packages abound, like the Value Package, which comes with an iPod/USB adapter and your choice of one of seven available colors of premium Boston Leather upholstery.  The Cold Weather Package boasts heated front seats and fixed headlight washers, while the Sport Package features upgrades to 17-inch Light alloy Star-spoke wheels with performance run-flat tires, sport suspension, and sport seats.  A Premium Package includes auto-dimming interior and exterior mirrors, power front seats, universal garage door opener, lumbar support, BMW Assist with Bluetooth connectivity and the Boston Leather options from the Value Package.  And last but not least, the Convenience Package features Park Distance Control, Xenon adaptive headlights that follow the direction in which you are steering and keyless entry with an anti-theft alarm system.  A 10-speaker Harman Kardon stereo with a CD player and MP3 capability and a navigation system, which utilizes BMW’s iDrive control system are also optional.

The 2011 BMW 128i is protected by a host of standard safety technologies, including side-impact airbags for the front seats, side curtain airbags for front and rear occupants (except for the convertible, which features pop-up roll bars), an electronic stability system and antilock brakes.

Even though it’s an entry-level vehicle, the 2011 BMW 128i coupe/convertible still bristles with luxury and provides a world-class driving experience.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

 

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

 

 

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

 

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

 

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

 

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

 

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

 

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?
