£9k.

Some 130i's are crazily priced hence stay up for sale for ages. See the Gunmetal 3 door with cinnamon interior for example.

I got my 130i 55 plate, 59k miles, full leather int, prof I drive & Stereo for £7k. Paintwork wasn't in very good condition though. Interior was like brand new however.

I may have an interest in these staying on the high side....

[DoubleSix]

Any links for the gunmetal?

Probably a crappy pre LCI with no xenons right?

[Chaz645]

Yeah agree with suggestions around 9k - although 10.5k would be nice! Never been one to advertise a car for a long period and slowly drop the price, much prefer to price it quite keenly knowing there wont be much to knock it on.

I've had a whole range of BMW's and whenever looking at the second hand market, prices vary massively when the spec/condition etc doesn't so much. The 130i does seem to be fetching quite strong money at the moment

me too. Mines a bit of under used one too 08 model with 27k on the clock. I have thought £7k max but maybe a bit more based on this.

With 130,135i and 335s seeming to be like rocking horse poo, have wondered about 330

[nickfrog]

Good point but make sure it's a N52 rather than less reliable N53 engine. Not sure when they switched though.

[mikeyscott]

Just doing some reading. Partridge phoned me re a 335 coupe on 07, but 14k and 88k on the clock mmm

[dapearson]

There were a few 2006-2007 130s around a year or so ago without silly mileages (sub 80k) for £7k. Prices have really firmed up on these lately! The same sort of spec now seems to command 5 figures!

Which TBH is what's making me hesitate and think....

[DoubleSix]

Ive had offers in excess of 10k for my LCI '07 msport with 35k on the clock...

[mikeyscott]

I was offered £10k for my 123d 59 plate 45k at the time, leather etc. err no

We looked at these 2 yrs ago and Elms in Cambourne had an 07 M-sport in black with 40k miles for £10,995. At the time it looked expensive because they only offered £5k for our 07 Leon 2.0 TDI with 50k miles and i couldn't justify double the price for similar year/mileage.

Rocking horse poo is an apt description as we are taling about quite rare cars in the UK....even compared to M3's.

In the UK, BMW only sold about 1200 or so 130i between 2006-2009 and only sold about 1300 of the 135i between 2007-2013.

Probably not many more than that of 335i sold either.

The simple rules of supply and demand (demand is increasing, and there's not much supply) are pushing prices of the 130i upwards, especially good condition, good spec cars.
