Nice pick George. Give it a scan and see what comes out, if nothing major I suggest keep it as a project for performance upgrades. I am sure you can pull in some vendors to sponsor. Best mods, bilstein suspension upgrades, e92 m3 front control arms, and 135i exhaust which is performance exhaust. That will completely transform this pocket rocket.
Very nice car. My opinion: I would like to see more of salvage cheap cars, fix and sell them, this could be very interesting for this channel i guess 👍
F/O/ side wing I'd just keep looking on ebay it u find one in same colour ! Shouldn't b any more than £150. Better than messing about sanding, filling and painting ×
Great to see another 130i on your channel again. The old one will be missed but I’m sure this car will provide you with lots of content. If you keep it then priorities would be the OFHG and the Mickey Mouse flange! But you know that of course. That car should have plenty more life in it 👊🏼
Nice to see a 130i again can’t believe you got it for £1500 thinking of buying a 325i estate m sport in the nice blue colour don’t think I’ll be getting it for £1500 though .
Would be good to hear comparisons about manual vs. automatic, and hydraulic power steering vs. electric. Unless you are biased now if you want to sell the new one for a better price, hehe!
N52 130i for £1500? I'd call that a steal of a year! Epsecially given there's not much time left to beat that. Bought mine E91 330i N52 with panroof and iDrive for £2200, but THIS.... ugh, a bit jealous
a good buy up to know , if it come`s up as a O2 SENSOR i would have thought it would be the second one on or after the CAT . as the first one make the car`s run poor
Shame it’s an auto. That gearbox feels its age these days and personally I don’t think it suits the N52 very well. The aero spoiler is very sort after these days. They make a massive difference to the rear end. I can’t see the values really going up; they’re a bit unloved and forgotten about. There is no scene tax like on the equivalent R32 to keep the values high.

Glad to see a 130i back on the channel. Hopefully more n52 videos.
I'm sure there will be!
Will be great to have some posts on the N52 engine. I have a 125i E82 with the N52
Fix it, sell it and put the profit towards your dream garage build. Cars will come and go but the garage will be there to stay
Not a bad idea!

I’m all for doing salvage cars but what’s the point buying a salvage car when you can buy a better condition one for cheaper?

My 130i is a LCI auto. I shall be rejoining patreon. 😊

Nice one George, looking forward to this one 👍🏻
You and me both!
Score! ✋ great engines! Check the DISAs, check valve, vanos solenoids, you know...
Absolutely!
Great to see another 130i on your chanel mate!! 🥳
Most fun car I’ve ever owned

Watch JayEmm’s video on the comparison between electric and hydraulic power steering on these cars👍🏻
This one would be at least 8k in Germany even with that weird Placement of the steering wheel.
Haha! To be fair, they’re around that price here too
Not quite the cheapest in the world I just brought an 06 130i in New Zealand for 1.9k which is close to 850 pounds. You still got a bargain though.
Cheapest in the world at the time I bought it.. There will always be someone who says “I bought one for 20 quid”
@@GeorgeAusters Fair point haha
You will ŵant to keep it george

I think you’re wrong… It’s the first generation 1 series, with the best engine👌🏻
Shame it wasn’t free like the 5 series would be the worlds cheapest then 😂😂😂😂
