I think the sound is more impressive than the power. The power was just a bonus. You can't replicate that engine note if you've ever driven one. Too bad i bought it last year, and had engine light pop up. I got a refund. WIsh I bought it 10 years ago.
@Tristan S No, the N53 has DFI! And the N52 hasn‘t really got some expensive failures! Only i know ist that the N52B25 likes oil (i had one, about every 7.000-8.000km one litre engine oil) and some got failures with the electric waterpump!
The purest BMW hatchback ever. Absolutely love these cars. I had a privilege to be driven in a 125i Coupe and that thing was fantastic! That N52 sounds delightful and the car is so light, lively and nimble!
I really miss my 130i. It's the only car I've had that I've really truly loved. Brilliant n52 engine, which will go on forever and ever. No complicated turbo set up, just a big 3.0 straight 6, in a little 1 series. By today's standards, it's not as quick as the Golf R's etc, although not far off once rolling as I found out, but the power wasn't what made it special. Put it this way, I've recently had a 460bhp M140i, and despite it being ridiculously fast, I never loved it like the 130i. Says a lot really.
@@teslamodelsteenclan6864 The previous generation (F20/21), yes. The current one, unfortunately not. Actually, there's no longer an M140i in the current generation (codename F40).
I own this exact car, for the last 7 years, i probably think it could be one of the best looking stock car for the year and it gives me the fizz everytime i floor it. The only thing i have changed in the last 7 years was the thermostat and the water pump, this is a world war solid engine, amazing quality...i will get the B58 340i next and still keep this naturally aspirated BMW gem..
In 'Autobild' it was the most reliable car at that time. No engine failure, only thing were the door sills getting worn in 100k km. No signs of engine/drivetrain worn at all.

bro thanks for making another video about this car! im from brazil and trying to find one for myself, this video just made my choice certain one more time! what a car!👌🏻
Damn I'm in love with that car... I have an E36 four cylinder which got me into BMWs in the first place but the more I get into BMWs the more I realize there is no real way around a six cylinder... And when I bought the car I actually thought I wouldn't want anything else for years...^^
great little video of the BMW 130i ... i own one for 4 years now (3 door version - looks better imo!) and still love it! the combination of a small hatchback,straight 6 NA and rear wheel drive is unique and will probably never be made again :-( .... with an upgraded exhaust (watch my videos) suspension and brakes the car is an absolute weapon to drive ... especially with the windows down thru tunnels ;-)... thanks to AutoTopNL for making this video of a future classic!!! (or maybe it is allready!!).

Hi AutoTopNL.. You guys are awesome. Im liking the natural aspirated inline 6 engines. Please do a E92 or E90 325i N52B25 video. Would love to see that. Thanks again.
Its lot of work, you would have to upgrade the brakes, diff and other stuff as well. If you ever sell the car, it will be not as worth as an regular 130i. You could better try to find a nice original one
No fake sounds from speakers, no stupid farts and pops, just clean 3.0 inline 6 sound.
Natanael Burkiet haha u r god damn right 🤣🤣🤣💪💪🔥🔥
It's such a smooth sound :)
Man for a 1 Series in that era 6.1 Sec is damn quick, BMWs were mad back then
And its not even a real performance version! Blistering speed for a 1 series
Proud owner of an E82 128i! Great performance for the year and naturally aspirated engine.
@@ivogoertz610 what you refer about performance version? M performance pack,with exhaust,and other performance parts?
And a manual gearbox.

Meanwhile they are trying to push 3 cylinders in our hands ... what a shame ! i refuse to upgrade to an LCI 1 serie's!

WOW! That has to be one of the best steering wheels I’ve ever seen
BMW hydraulic steering was a thing of beauty, even non-M ones. So accurate and responsive.
Its the m-performance steering wheel. The former owner installed it. Very happy with it :). Also applicabbe on the E9X models
HJ D dat zal vast! Een prachtige auto heeft u! Geniet ervan.
My steering wheel is 95% equal :3 yeh
My brother has a 130i, i love the sound from the inside
Dont need no V8 this is pure elegance
I picked up a '07 130i only 2 weeks ago, absolutely love it so far, cant get enough of it's sound and looks :)
Let me know if ur looking to sell
reminds me a bit of my dads old E46 330i he had when i was a kid, thats what got me into cars
God, the way that thing revs and accelerates is insane just for a little 130i. BMW were mad!
Only what i should say is wow 14 years old and still have those skills

in the one series.. Look up M135i or M145i

There’s just something about Bmw’s from the 2000s that get me all warm and fuzzy inside :)
Wow guys finally I've been waiting for long for u guys to get the 130i it has the silky n52
I miss the camera showing revs and speed ☹️
It will be online soon
My favorite bmw 1 series..the legendary 130i
One of the best engines ever
Amazing how the outside still looking a today's car
Wtf....because BMW is still using this old fashioned design on their series 1 model?
It is one on the ugliest hatchbacks. Good looking hatchbacks are wrx sti, Rs3, ek9 civic type r, delta integrale.
headless the e87 is the best looking
(In white with xenon lights)
@@hop6649 only in your dreams
The best looking hatchback is the Opel Astra H GTC Irmscher (in black)
No huge screen in the middle? Love it!
Its a foldable screen
non FL version, I have a Facelifted 130i
with Professional NAV, and it is nod foldable, and great looking.

Tell your government to change your roads and let the germans be the examiners of your driving tests and just maybe you can have no speed limit zones

Do you really need a faster car than this? 250bhp with a n/a engine, power to the rear. You can get these in the UK now for 4/5k an absolute belter of a car.
I think its the perfect mix between power and usuability(its my car they tested). A 135i has more power but isn't that smooth on trottle

So fun car and engine is great i have e36 fitted n52b30 engine, it is not finished but cant wait to get it on road
that s a really cool car 😍
The only 1 series that i liked.
try one of the Bmw e60 2008 (like 540i-550i) in the next video
Would it be possible to find a 130i engine and but it in a 120i?
Or is it just waaaay to much of a hassle
Its lot of work, you would have to upgrade the brakes, diff and other stuff as well.
If you ever sell the car, it will be not as worth as an regular 130i. You could better try to find a nice original one

Still better than the new 4 cyl M135i 😁👍
N52!
IT CAN GO SIDEWAYS!?! THIS CAR IS THE SHIT!
This is a Game
Will we see a review @AutoTopNL? And hear your impressions on the puristic 130i vs BMW's current offerings?
Is this front or rear wheel drive?
Rwd
Rear
