BMW has launched a new version of their one series, the BMW 128ti. This new model comes equipped with BMW’s M Sport suspension and a Torsen limited-slip differential, making it a highly anticipated addition to the lineup.
The new BMW 128ti is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that produces an impressive 261 horsepower. This engine allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in just 6.1 seconds, showcasing its sporty performance capabilities.
The 2.0-litre engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology is a direct offshoot of the variant in the BMW M135i xDrive – the BMW Group’s most powerful four-cylinder unit – and develops 195 kW (265 hp). The eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission is fitted as standard.
As in the BMW M135i xDrive, the standard-fitted M Sport braking system with red-painted brake callipers (a first for a BMW 1 Series model) provides good braking performance. The 18-inch Y‑spoke 553 M bi-colour light-alloy wheels are reserved exclusively for the BMW 128ti, while sport tyres (Michelin Pilot Sport 4) can be specified as a no-cost option.
Performance and Handling
The BMW 128ti is not just about raw power; it also offers exceptional handling and driving dynamics. The M Sport suspension has been specifically tuned to provide a more engaging driving experience. The Torsen limited-slip differential enhances traction and stability, especially during high-speed cornering. This makes the 128ti a compelling choice for driving enthusiasts who crave a responsive and agile vehicle.
The car’s braking system is equally impressive. The M Sport braking system, featuring red-painted brake callipers, ensures that the car can come to a stop quickly and safely. This is particularly important for a car with such high performance capabilities. The 18-inch Y-spoke 553 M bi-colour light-alloy wheels not only add to the car’s aesthetic appeal but also contribute to its overall performance. For those who want even more grip, Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres can be added at no extra cost.
Interior and Technology
Inside, the BMW 128ti offers a blend of sportiness and luxury. The interior is designed to provide both comfort and functionality. High-quality materials are used throughout, and the seats are designed to offer excellent support during spirited driving. The car also comes with a range of advanced technology features, including a high-resolution infotainment system, advanced driver assistance systems, and customizable digital displays.
The eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission is another highlight, offering smooth and quick gear changes. This transmission is designed to complement the car’s sporty character, providing an engaging driving experience whether you’re on a twisty back road or cruising on the highway.
