The new 128i convertible provides all the driving excitement and pleasure one can expect from a BMW. Performance is comparable to Bimmer's incredible 3-Series. Driving with the top down is enjoyable because the stereo and heating system are effective at highway speed, and the noise volume is decent, so you can actually hold a conversation.
The electronic top closes quickly — 30 seconds or during a quick traffic stop. Handling is tight. One nitpick is the size; the trunk is a bit small and there's very little legroom in the back seat. The 128i convertible was listed at $45K, which included many options. Maybe if the 1-Series were priced lower, it would be more attractive to buyers, but at this price, the 3-Series would be a reasonable alternative. -Joe Chulick
