2007 BMW 130i SE MSport (E87)

Recommended Posts

Hey all!

This is my first post in BimmerSport but frequent EuroSport.org.nz and have been for a while now! Picked up my new car a few weeks ago. Its a 2007 BMW 130i SE MSport, absolutely loving it!

Is a 6spd manual (wouldn't have it any other way) with the usual MSport stuff. Wheels are off a Z4.

Factory options include: front PDC (only rear is standard), Xenon headlamps and washers, cruise control.

No mods yet (apart from a stubby antenna and 35% tints) but plan to get some sort of exhaust/intake when I can find someone that makes them for the 130i!

Previously owned a Honda S2000, Mazda RX8 Type-S, and a MKIV VW Golf GTi.

Oh, and I know Apex as he is a EuroSport member as well :-)

Being an owner of an E36 myself... I would like to see more pics of the 323i... :D

The 1 series is still a nice car though! Welcome to the site mate!

Cool! It must go pretty well too.

As Graham said, good to see a E87 owner here.

Possibly the first E87? Any others around?

Nice ride!

Having owned a MkIV Golf, did you try the new MkV GTI / R32? If so, how does the 130i compare?

Yea, I took the MKV R32 for a spin. Was quite disappointed really. Made a nice sound, but the overall package just didn't appeal to me as much as the 130i. Interior of the R32 wasn't really up to scratch, there is loads of them around, 130i has heaps more options. Drive was, gear shift has a long throw compared to the 130i (hate that), was a softer ride then the 130i (too soft for my liking), and was quite noisey in the cabin going down the motorway.

The 130i is smaller inside, but I don't need a big car :-P

Plus it’s RWD!! The Golf R32 is a FWD with rear wheel traction control. The Golf GTI is the must have car of the moment though and is a sensational drive.

Your car is as good as brand new Tim and for the price you paid you couldn’t have done better.
