    Yeah maybe, except the part about the 140i **** itself. The B58 is one of the most bombproof engines BMW have produced and one of the reasons Toyota use them in the Supra.

    Well I never bought a car in the end as I came into a few life problems(not going to disclose them) but anyway I don't have as much to spend as originally.

    What do people think of this BMW? It's a private sale but all pictures are from a dealer he must have saved the pictures from when he bought it for some reason. Over budget but it is a private sale so there may be a bit of give there. Also that is a four wheel drive car but without LSD's so maybe my dream of a GR Yaris may hold up. One without the LSD's as I cannot afford one with them. Would it make a difference LSD's or not? I know if you were to track the car the LSD's help out of the corners while going fast but I will never track the car or even drive like a dick. I do drive fast every now and then but not to the extreme of pushing to the limits on a back road. You are putting everyone else at danger if you do that.

    Yes that car was for sale by Beshoffs last year and looks like the seller just reused the photos. I think the dealer was asking less money for it last year too.

    That was originally a BMW press car too, here is that car being reviewed:

    Thanks for that. Looks like he never bothered to put it through an NCT either as it's up. I thought the DoneDeal details was wrong regarding NCT as sometimes it can show an NCT is up but there is actually a fresh one on there. It's over my budget anyway even though it is a great car but that reviewer didn't really seem too into it.

    Many reckon the 128ti is a better car than the 35i. While the 128ti has less power on paper it's much lighter. While the 1 Series is no looker, the 2 Series Gran Coupe looks pants from most angles.
