Hi guys,
I'm new to both this forum and BMW. I'm thinking of buying a 130i (manual) for my daily.
I think this topic has been covered and I've done some searches but I wish to hear more from current/past owners of 130i in NZ.
I drive 60km a day in traffic (back and forth from North Shore to East Tamaki) and I occasionally go out for spirited driving in the weekends. The reason why I want to get 130i is because I want so get something that's more fun to drive but reasonably reliable and safe to replace my current daily (Honda CR-Z with CVT transmission).
Originally 130i wasn't on my list but after a test drive, the engine sound just got me!
How's 130i as a daily? Is fuel consumption as bad as some say (12+)? I see from https://www.spritmonitor.de/en/search.html and fuelly.com that it'll be around 9~11L/100km. My current car is doing 6L/100km so I do expect to pay some(much) more for petrol. Should I also consider E90 330i?
Thanks in advance for your comments
