Looks like an ebay special for the badge/grill. I'd be happy if they were worth 15k with wheels on them :D

PRICED TO SELL!!!...

Nope. ?

I got mine off Pearce Brothers (different location though), how did they price mine as they did and this one as they have?

Just had a quick look at the 130is on trademe, last time I looked was pre-Rona and I'd say the average price on a good one has gone up in the last few months which is surprising. Obviously the good deals get snapped up quickly but prices seem higher atm.

Yes I did the same last night.  Interestingly one of the listings suggested 'these are rare'.  Uhhhh, didn't you check your market first?  There's a metric sh!t-ton of 130i's for sale currently.

It's not fb marketplace we're talking about here. That place is pure cancer.

The fiery pits of hell have more virtue than FB marketplace.

We should screw up the market.  All advertise our cars at once for $15k+ and see what happens.

Indeed, fiddled a lot, including a gross aftermarket front bumper. I've never seen that AFE intake cover for an E8x, I suspect it's off something else. Good to see it's been worked on by BM Workshop, at least once in its life.

This one needs more pics but for around the same money might be a better buy: https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-2689688601.htm

If you're thinking of buying a 130i try driving a manual as well as an auto. Definitely a different experience. Both good though.

Agreed, and if you really want a manual, get a manual. The auto is pretty (really) good, especially with some aftermarket paddles, as a daily/weekend compromise it's perfect, but it's not a manual.
