after a few month of shopping around (new civic hatch, lexus 250SE, Audi A4 2.0T DSG), i finally bought the BMW 130i, drove it yesterday afternoon and i fell in love with it. Handling is alot sharper than my subaru and the power is relentless, the accceleration is not as aggressive as the subaru, but its very potent... i am glad that im trading the subaru in for the 130i. The car is gonna arrive sometime next weekend, or i was told so... which means that i got till next week friday to drive the scobby for the last time... :(

im already thinking of burning out my scooby tonite : )


- pics to come at a later stage
 
This is a car forum, GIVE US THE SPECS MAN :lol:

Congrats btw :thumbsup: Don't like the look of the car if I'm honest but I know they're technically brilliant things with a nice clean interior layout.
 
the 130i is a wonderful little car...well done choosing the right engine. :)

me too.. I've actually grown to love the 130i... I've seen a couple around here and I'm loving it more by the day :D
 
^Nup not that I know of unfortunately...


MadCow809 - the black sports leather trim sounds nice :mrgreen:
 
I'm still waiting for a 1-series coupe but good choice of engine there, especially considering that all the other engines for the 1-series suck.

yep... tried the 120i first... very disappointed with the performance. the 130i is just so awesome :D
 
Take it easy when you do recieve the car, especially if you plan on keeping it for sometime, these cars require a relatively gentle break in. If you disregard the break in period everything will be fine in the beginning, but in the long run the car is going to suffer from various leaks and internal problems.... Enjoy, just after 800 or 1000 miles or so.
