Highlights

THIS... is a 2013 BMW 128i, finished in Black Sapphire Metallic with a black interior.
  • This 128i is a Canadian-spec BMW that's titled and located in Ontario, Canada. The odometer reads in metric units and indicates approximately 315,900 kilometers or roughly 196,300 miles.
  • The attached Carfax vehicle history report shows no accidents or mileage discrepancies in this 128i’s past.
  • According to the build sheet provided in the gallery, notable factory equipment includes the M Sport Package, xenon headlights, power-adjustable and heated front seats, and dual-zone automatic climate control.
  • This 128i’s factory-fitted 3.0-liter straight-6 and 6-speed automatic transmission have been swapped with an M57 inline-6 turbodiesel and 6-speed automatic transmission from a BMW 335d, according to the seller. Other notable modifications reported by the seller include 18-inch Apex ARC-8 wheels, a swirl flap delete kit, an aftermarket air intake, and an aftermarket exhaust system.
  • Marketed as a modern take on the vaunted 2002, the 1 Series coupe was introduced for the 2008 model year. It arrived as a rear-wheel-drive four-seater that was smaller, lighter, and more affordable than the 3 Series coupe. At launch, the range included the entry-level 128i and the more powerful 135i. Production ended in 2013, and the 1 Series coupe's replacement inaugurated the 2 Series nameplate.
  • Power comes from a turbodiesel 3.0-liter inline-6, rated at 265 horsepower and 425 lb-ft of torque in stock form. Due to the modifications performed to this BMW, it may produce more power, but a dyno sheet was not provided to confirm. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission.
