[davegt]

This is my 2008 BMW 130i LE (E81 3dr)

Genuine reason for sale, deposit paid on a Great Dane puppy :shock: so I'm going to need something bigger, yes the 130i will be ok in the short term but I dont want to be carrying a GD around on Lemon Leather seats so I could do with moving it on...

One of only 146 registered.
3lt straight 6 engine, 265bhp.
Carbon Black metallic.
Cream (lemon) leather electric seats (including adjustable bolsters) with driver side memory function
BMW 216 staggered 18" alloy wheels in perfect condition.
Performance BMW Carbon front splitters, colour coded.
I-drive system, navigation etc
Power fold mirrors
USB/iPod, multi function steering wheel etc
Xenon headlights with white halo's
LED interior and exterior lights.
Front and rear parking sensors
Auto lights and auto wipers
Privacy blinds fitted (removable blinds fitted to rear window and rear side windows)
MOT July 2016.
97500 miles with documented history (I can provide details for any intersted parties)
New shock absorbers all round
New front suspension top mounts, drop links, inner and outer track rods.
New H&R springs
Rocker and Valvetronic gaskets replaced (common weak point)
ABS pump rebuilt (common weak point)
Diff and gear box oil changed
Front bumper resprayed due to stone chips.
Rear bumper resprayed due to previous owners dog scratching it.

Great condition all round with one or two car park related marks as is to be expected, this is a third car and has been garaged for the majority of its life, I'm the second owner. Nice alternative to a Z4 Coupe as it has back seats!

SOLD

i had one of these when they were new and i LOVED the thing.... Had one of the best drives of my life on the back roads on the way down to the sandbanks!! literally awesome car and the engine just suited it to the T.

The new suspension parts make it feel factory fresh, the H&R springs have dropped the rear by 5mm and the front by 20mm she sits perfectly, firm but not hard (although still on RFT's), a joy to drive, the new owner will not be disappointed.

Here's a pic of the internals taken about 1k ago when the gaskets were changed, there's no sludge or build up, just a bit of discolouration which is as to be expected, how many car ad's show you this much detail

I used to own a 130i with lots of BMWP goodies. I absolutely LOVED it and to this day it is the only car im gutted that I sold.

Would love another one. Best of luck with your sale, someone is going to be very lucky to get their hands on this.

Hi

Does the LE have Electric PAS or is it hydronic like the pre-facelift?

It's an LCI so has Electric PAS, the LCI has a better quality interior, better fuel efficiency thanks to the "brake regeneration technology" and car tax is slightly cheaper than pre-facelift models.

Price reduced, insurance is due shortly, rather than renewing it I'm going to cover her up until spring if she doesn't sell.
