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

hahah thanks

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!

The only 2 reasons I'm selling is because its starting to depreciate too much and because i NEED more hp...hahaha

everyone that gets in my 130i asks me if its new. And they say, still smells like new. But its time for bigger power

What are you driving at the moment?

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?

Yes, that one. Did you buy it?

quasio · 03-01-2012, 12:45 AM

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!

Harlequin · 03-01-2012, 05:45 AM

I still remember the 330d I had as a loaner.... Lovely car...

kaitan · 03-01-2012, 05:58 AM

I love it

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.
