I have a 130i msport next to my E46 M3. i bought this car because of the handling. I mounted a lsd on it that s the best mod i ever did on a car. Lovely powerslides smiles from ear to ear. Next mod is racing shocks on it. Not to hard springs just suitable for every day driving. After 14000km the standard shocks have had there best days. I must say i give my 130i very hard time.

Great car.

I am really hoping and praying bmw makes out of the 2 series coupe an M2 with the 3.0 liter cilinder this engine is a dream for a 1 series car. Just get the valvetronic off and build an m engine from it. If that happens My E46 m3 makes room for this car.

Bmw did fantastic building the 1 series. The new 3 series has grown to much for my liking. I must say i am not a hatchback lover. I prefer a coupe myself. 230i would also be fantastic. But an m2 would be a dream come thru for me. Money is ready to be spend for the m2. It s just waiting there bmw!!!
