Alternatively, a 125i coupe. A bit smaller, but the same thing as an E9x under the skin. Remap the detuned motor to 330i spec for 50bhp more and the 130i brakes bolt straight on too.
I did just that and loved the car, particularly the way it looks. No idea why I sold it. They are now under priced IMO, although I actually made money on mine already 3 years ago. https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/...

Thanks for all the comments!

Here is what I ended up buying:



It’s a 2010 BMW 330i M Sport Auto with 80k miles and full service history.

Few things on my to-do list:

Exhaust system because the stock system is way to quiet for a 3l straight six engine. I looked at the BMW performance exhaust which is £450 or cat-back system from Power Flow for £650.

Do some coding and check for any error codes. Need obd2 reader and an app for phone or PC.

Full bodywork and interior detail.

Looks nice, just watch those alloys, they love to crack.
