135 because its TT and fast and more sporty and fast and looks better and fast, and can be made much more faster. I wish I had one or that I could afford one.

I honestly think the whole 1-series lineup are chic cars. $.02.

But, between the two choices, I voted 135i because of the bigger motor. That, and I'm not a fan of convertibles.

I like both, I just think for the price of a 135i I would get into a 3 series. I have not driven a 128 but have sinking suspicion it is still a blast to drive, it's not a slow car and it still the lightest BMW coupe. The 128 is a great economical choice, good fuel economy, better then average acceleration, etc...

Except he's asking about the 128 convertible. It's heavier, slower, and almost as much as the 135 coupe.

135....is this really a hard choice?

I would think this would be a no brainer.

135i. If you're going with the 1-series... go all the way.

Something about a man driving a 1 series Vert, whether it be a 28 or 35 just doesn't seem right IMO.

I saw a woman driving a 370Z yesterday so I guess I can't buy that one now.

Get what you want. If you want a 128i convertible, then get it.

I'd much rather have the 135i. I have a very strong suspicion that if a 135i and my S4 were at a dragstrip, the 135i would kick my ass very badly. Even if it was driven by a woman.

Well I for one love convertibles, but not a big fan of the 1-series drop top. As was mentioned it, seems fairly feminine. Can't say I've ever seen a guy behind the wheel of one yet.

very simple...135 weighs less and more power. The 128 weighs more (because ALL convertibles weighs more than their hard top counter parts) and less power. Plus IMO it's kinda :ghey:

^ I do not think the results would be as skewed if you were talking about the 135 drop top...
