Got it! I added at the end: Better option than a 120i, 118i, 116i, 120d, 118d, R32, Golf

135i' will consistantly be selling for under $50k now in my opinion
the only thing that I can't decide is that if I would spend that sort of money for a second hand car or would i spend that money for a Golf R new car. Different class I know but Same sort of league, isn't it?

Bruno, it feels the same as it did when it had 5000kms on it. Honestly, it depends on the driver. I don't have any creaks/squeaks and the engine is as smooth as it ever was. I think you will find most 135's are like that?

To be honest, It all depends on the owner of the car and how is it kept. I've got a 120d which is an 08 model and it's done 126 k's now but it still feels solid and new. I went for a drivers training recently and she asked me is this car new? I nope her no and she was very suprise.

So it's all up to the owner and how well it's kept. I clean my interior every week and put leather conditioner every month. I'm a clean freak for my car only and only my car :P

And I can vouch that this car is always kept very well maintained. I can't recall a time when I've ever seen it in desperate need of a clean, and mechanically it gets very well looked after.

True, I keep mine super clean. Every weekend I wash, vacuum and condition leather and plastic parts. Even use stainless steel cleaner for tailpipe and aluminium trim..hahah Not even a white flint on the carpet.
My back seat are basically new, since i hardly carry passengers at the back.
and you thought you were a clean freak!

Jeez time sure does fly! PM me some pics if you have some - my father and I have a soft spot of those gems. There was a red one at the recent Euro club meet which you might've seen before... it was immaculate!
Ah I'm back in a measly 1 series.. I missed the 130 too much (although this time with the N54, ie: coupe)
What are you cruising around in mate?

The SA one had the right gear on it and price was realistic. Looked like a nice car.
Which SA one, are you talking about a 130i? did it happen to have Quaife LSD and 135i brake kit?

yup!.. hehe tis a great car... bought it and drove it back to Melb.. absolutely zero issues.

LSD is great, however i'm use to LSD's though, so not too sure what a non-lsd 130i feels like, but its fairly progressive, to me it locks a lot slower than my previous, but at least it does lock.

Get the 135i, I eat tuned Golf R's just with a procede.

The Golf is more fun to drive and feels zippier, but the BMW is much more of a luxury car.

Your 120D is one of the fastest Diesels there is man! Move up to a 135i!

Lol yea i know what ya mean !! but one is new and one is second hand. a 335 will be ideal for me but it's still expensive yet it's like a 5 year old car already.

The 120d is lacking of something !! dunno what is it. I recently got my 18 inch wheels it has no wheelspin at all form the start!! but i think it's the lack of refinement that the petrol engine has....

I would love to have the 330d and chip it up but it's more expensive then the 135i secondhand !! the price is still holding!

Hey Bruno,

I recently looked at trading my 130i in (July 2011) and the best price that I got for my 130i was $22000, lowest was $12000. I promptly laughed and just turned and walked away with the sales person following me, I said don't bother.

Most insurers won't even insure a 2006 130i for more than $36000.

Mind you my car did have 115 000kms at the time now its at 130k kms.

I paid $50k from Westside BMW for my 50000km 130i 3 years ago.

In any case Good luck with the sale. Let us know how you go.

Yeah I cant believe that a 130i can lose $20k in only 1.5 years and only 10000km added to it during that time.
