You should continue this conversation on your last thread, even with your new budget.

In addition to what was already said, do you understand the maintenance costs involved with owning a 135i? I'm sure others on this forum will be able to give you an indication of usual servicing and other wear and tear items. I would consider a 2014-16 Polo TSi in your situation.

What is your driving experience like?
Are you familiar with the driving characteristics of a RWD boosted 6 cylinder?

even with the n55?

 

[Nick]

so zero then...
buy something slower and more affordable, youll crash a 135 twice a day with your lack of experience....

Go get yourself an Etios / polo vivo and learn how to drive before you kill yourself or someone else in a fast RWD car.

 

[RAArmstrong]

Get an Etios... Aircon, power steering, central locking, radio and plenty cup holders. All you need as a first car.

You guys are being negative.

My dude, you can get a decent E46 M3 for that money.

Great car, low running costs, and won't kill you like a turbo car.

This is a great choice, looks mint too. Generally S54 powered cars only need a oil change now and then, everything else, including the diff is pretty solid.

Get a properly used, but well maintained, Japanese or Korean hatchback instead.

Why do I get a feeling that this is Whackhead Simpson....

seems like some stuff missing from engine bay, fan shroud, 1 piece from airbox housing..if u wanna go this route there are a few things to consider in terms of mechanical..bearings, vanos, diff..just my 2 cents
