Fun car. Long ago (2008) I owned the "nothing burger" version of the 128. Option 1: Sport Suspension. Option 2: Built in bike rack attachment in rear bumper -- so no turbo, just a sweet, high-revving NA I6.
Two cool features: First, the back seat folds dead flat, leaving enough room for a bike if you remove both wheels. Second, for a few years, you could order the built-in bike rack attachments. Every car had them, but either you or the dealer had to make these little body-colored cutouts to access them. Then one of the sturdiest racks I've ever seen scissor-clamped onto the mounts. The only downside was that the arms that secured the bikes had to clamp to the frame, but the jaws were super soft silicone....
Great memories. Sold it in a day to, of course, an avid road racing geek!
