Drivers will easily notice the suspension the moment it sets off. The 128ti comes in standard guise with non-adaptive dampers. These dampers are set up to be stiffer than those found adaptive ones on the M135i, even in Sport mode. Moreover, the spring rates have been stiffened up by eight percent too. So, it will be a bumpy ride when driving the BMW 128ti.

It feels a bit raw when driving the 128ti hard. However, it is a welcome change of pace as the 128ti is supposed to appeal to those who want to get their hands more on hot hatches. It would have been nice to have a manual gearbox as an option. Yet, it does not exist due to strict emission legislation, according to BMW.

That leaves the work on the BMW 128ti cut out. Even so, if you are into cars for daily driving yet a fascinatingly hot hatch, then the BMW 128ti is something to consider.
