bmw 130 still a bad idea

[mikeyb13]

What can I say ive got strange taste i actually like them, and now that you can get one for under £10000 grand it looks like a bargain. Anyone know what they are like round a track. Going to the ring next year is there a chance i could get banned cause my car is ugly

Is that a stolen 130i for 10 bags?

I suspect its the one on autotrader that looks like a scam !

I think you need to speak to Spokey who's recently acquired (legitimately) a 130, replacing an E34 M5 Le Mans edition as his 'other toy' and he's also a ring fanatic, so is well placed to comment on the merits.

I think he loves the car, hates the supplying dealer!

I was recently offered 19k in trade-in for my December 2005 130iM (18k on the clock) by my local dealer, so I'd be very surprised if you could get one for 10k even with galactic miles!

They are ing incredible round a track. However, if you get one for 10K, I'd be hugely surprised.

A 120d finished very highly in this years N24 so i dont think they'll ban you fro being ugly... you'll just get called names by all the GT3 owners you overtake!!

130i M Sports are about for 16-17k at dealers so I suppose 14-15k is private sale price

10k would be write off or scam

depends what you were part exchaning it against. if its something they had for 60 days and it had 3-4k margin in it then 19k might be right. Check the bmw web site now and you will see dealers selling 05 130i m sports for less than 19k

That being so, I would have thought the new 123d would be brilliant at this. Quite a Q-car, and with an impressive range.
