The BMW 128i Overview

The Volvo C30 Overview

What BMW offers…

• BMW includes a longer standard-equipment list, including rain-sensing wipers, 8-way adjustable seats for driver and passenger, automatic headlight control, automatic climate control, iPod/USB adapter, foglights and three no-cost interior trim options.
• The 128i offers a no-cost choice between a manual or STEPTRONIC automatic transmission, both 6-speeds.
• The 1 Series offers optional 8-way power seats with 4-way power lumbar for both driver and passenger, and includes 2-way memory for both seats.
• BMW’s navigation system includes a brilliant 8.8-inch display, 80 GB hard drive with 12 GB music collection, and the console-mounted iDrive controller allows instant access to all features through the controller, Direct Access buttons, or Programmable Memory Keys.
• BMW ConnectedDrive provides such features as BMW Apps, Enhanced Bluetooth, Search, MyInfo, and Text-to-Speech plus downloadable email, calendar and recent-call phone lists directly to the iDrive display.
• The 128i’s optional bi-Xenon headlights are auto-leveling and Adaptive, and include cornering and additional LED lighting front and rear.
• BMW’s attention to design detail yields a weight distribution near 50/50 in virtually every 128i configuration.
• BMW’s inline-6’s magnesium/aluminum construction is unique in its class, and cuts weight significantly.
• The 128i Coupe sprints to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds with either transmission, quicker than either C30 version.

What Volvo doesn’t…

• The Volvo includes manual climate control, a single interior trim choice, and a manual 8-way driver’s seat paired with a 4-way passenger’s seat. All other features are available only in various packages that range in price from $900 to $1,800.
• The C30 sports a standard 6-speed manual, but its $1,250 automatic is an older-generation 5-speed.
• Volvo’s optional power seats include only 8-way driver and 6-way passenger power adjustment, with 3-way memory for the driver’s seat only.
• Volvo’s navigation system includes only a 6.5-inch display with hard-drive data base, but no music collection, nor CD-ripping capability. It also lacks Direct Access or Programmable Memory Keys, so there is no quick access to many navigation features.
• Volvo’s navigation system offers nothing like BMW’s ConnectedDrive features, and has no Text-to-Speech function, no Enhanced Bluetooth, calendar nor recent calls list.
• Volvo’s “Light-bending” Xenon adaptive headlights are low-beam only. The C30 includes no supplemental cornering lights nor LED illumination.
• Volvo’s front-drive system places significantly more weight on the front–close to 60 percent in every case.
• Despite its unusual cylinder number, the C30’s inline-5 otherwise uses conventional all-aluminum construction.
• The C30 manages 6.2 second 0-60 time with its manual, but the 5-speed automatic manages only 6.6 seconds.
