Your budget will get you a lovely Coupe.. Good luck with your search. 👍

Tempted, really am. Trying to combine it with a visit to father-in-law...

Owned 2 130i over 10yrs. First was pre-facelift 5 door, 2nd was an immaculate 3 door LE. Great cars but never felt special enough for a weekend toy, and too nice if you have a good one to then use daily.. And you deffo sit on them rather than in them. I loved the engine and sound but despite...

Impressive work, Sir. What a great build! 👍

I know! Crazy behaviour!

So far so good, no issues at all. I've still not progressed with the map as a new addition to the family has taken my focus. An OG BMW i3s. I've had loads of folk asking for sound clips. The phone microphone doesn't pick up the swirly whooshing or the rasp over 5.5k rpm but at least it...

Once out, I then Dremel'ed some of the underside off the cover. You can fit it back on easily (and remove it again) 👍

I'm a cat person, 🐈

I'm the short guy with a straw hat if it's sunny. Usually with a camera, hiding in bushes.
