Highlights of the new BMW 128ti

Providing superior driving pleasure serves as the main focus of the new BMW 128ti. Highlights of the new BMW 128ti includes its Torsen limited-slip differential and tuned M Sport suspension. It sits between the ideal BMW 120i and the top notcher BMW M135i xDrive. But this driving machine’s performance and character are distinct to itself alone.

The exclusive front-wheel-drive compact sports car guarantees a highly engaging drive. Also, a bespoke steering application completes the whole driving pleasure it promises. For excellent driving performance, it carries firmer anti-roll bars and mounts, and stiffer springs. Additionally, shock absorbers were adapted very well in its driving dynamics. Weighing 80 kilograms lighter than its flagship model, the 128ti ensures a swifter driving experience.

Under the hood, a powerful 2.0-liter engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology gears the 128ti. This engine generates 195 kW (265 hp) supported by an eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission. In addition, it has 8-inch Y‑spoke 553 M bi-colour light-alloy wheels to complete its look. And an M Sport braking system to ensure high braking performance.

Wearing the M Sport exterior and interior, the BMW 128ti has been given a character of its own. Specific trim moldings and covers, as well as side skirts and the “ti” badge, distinguish it from others. Inside, red accents and Race Red surface in the sport seats emphasize its sports car model. The steering wheel rim and airbag also wear the M Sport red stitching which defines its overall sportiness.

Surely, the BMW 128ti upholds the long tradition of the luxury carmaker since the 1960s. The “TI” (later “ti”) badge which means “Turismo Internazionale” features iconic sporty models. For example, BMW 1800 TI and BMW 2002 TI. And later on the BMW 323ti Compact and BMW 325ti Compact. Now, these highlights of the BMW 128ti shows how BMW stays true in the “ti” image of excellence.
