Turned to the dark side
 

Well after faffing round for months I've finally got myself a new motor. i went for this one as it was too good an opportunity to miss. Only 33k on the clock, two owners (both long term), pretty much everything on it it bar sat nav and sunroof. All round as a package I must say its cracking. putting out 265bhp which is enough to keep me happy for now and the power is so smooth! It's also been so well cared for its like a new car.

Oh yeah and its a BMW 130i m sport!

there a nice looking car,but i like the saloon better.shame they dont do them 4 wheel drive.

Very nice & a bit of a Q car :drive:

Never really been taken with the 1 series:getmecoat:

As with all BM's its probably a great all round car though:five:

Nice one mate

Welcome to the German side

Very nice mate :ok:

Excellent choice of car there mate, wouldn't mind one of those myself:doubleup:

Cheers guys, I know it's one of those cars that some people love and some hate! All round though I can't fault it. Price/performance/economy/insurance/comfort/toys/age/mielage etc.

Only niggle I have so far is that it's black so is filthy already!

Nice car. I think Autocar thought it was a 'best buy' and no real ongoing issues that have materialised...good choice!:drumroll:

Nice little pocket rocket - With Large car/bmw build quality. I bet that is a really nice drive and a bit of a wolf in sheeps clothing. Kinda a car I could fancy right now as well.

I would love a 135I but serious money at the moment.

As long as you can turn off the Traction Control!!!!! Cool motor :-)

It's a lot quicker than I was expecting it to be. Not rip your face off but plenty for the road. Lovely to drive, if not a bit squeemish under braking sometimes, but I'm never anywhere near the limit on the road these days. Build quality is top notch, despite being 5 years old it's like its just come out the showroom and still smells like new car!

Would love a 135i but as you say prices are too high for them, well at least for me!, at the moment.


You can if you hold down DTC button. Did it in the rain the day I picked it up, it was very swiftly turned back on followed by pants changed! Sometime awd does make sense!
