2006 BMW

BMW 130i M sport 4 door pre facelift model.

Here we have one of the nicest normally aspirated BMW engines in a small rear wheel drive hatch. This particular example has a Birds Autos suspension package and E92 M3 front lower arms, which just add a couple of degrees of negative camber and improves turn in and steering feel. The car is mechanically excellent and cosmetically very good with just a couple of stone chips on the bonnet and a couple of marks on the rear bumper. The wheels are a bit kerbed, but considering it's age it's in great condition. Everything works perfectly and it has the following features from the factory:

Hill hold control

Full leather interior

heated front seats

Business stereo

Xenon self leveling headlights

M sport interior and exterior trim

6 speed gearbox

Dual zone climate control

Isofix

Hydraulic power steering (post facelift cars had electric).

In addition to the factory options we also have

Birds Autos suspension package (shocks and springs)

M3 Lower arms

4x good Continental Premium Contact tyres

3x keys

Loads of paperwork

I have owned the car since 2010 and it has never missed a beat with a strong engine, great handling and comfortable interior. The only mechanical faults I can recall were a failed electric water pump that I had replaced in 2019 and a sticky vanos solenoid that I replaced last year.

The car was dealer serviced by Dick Lovett Swindon until around 2014. From then onwards I have had it serviced by independents. I have paperwork for the independent work, and BMW have a record of all the dealer servicing. It's not due a service for 6000 miles where the indicator says it needs front brake pads and fluid. After that it needs an oil change in another 17,000 miles and an inspection in another 29,000 miles.

This car has been a great car for me, and I will be sad to see it go, but I have decided I want something different and so it is time to move on.

It has an MOT until September 2nd 2021, but I will put a new MOT on for the buyer.
