2013 BMW 128i

This slicktop E82 128i benefits from a few key upgrades to sharpen up driving dynamics and freshen up the look. A Bilstein B12 suspension has been employed to keep it tidy in the corners, and the front brakes have been upgraded to more capable 6-piston calipers off a 135i. While it may not include a turbo like it’s more popular brothers, the naturally-aspirated N51 inline-6 engine is smooth as silk and offers a fun power band with plenty of forward motivation for the backroads.
