I was reading an article about the 125i Coupe being one of the most underrated drivers cars of recent times - going to see if I can find a link in a sec.
I know you loved your 130i, one of those with an LSD could be pretty fun right?
Yeah i had two of them, they are good, but not as raw and basic as an Ep3. I loved it as an allrounder, but if you want pure driving thrills an E36 or E46 M3 will beat it and a porker 911 will beat them both.
the 125i is a good car, it's basically a 130i with a detuned map, so you can remap it for £400 back to 270bhp, pretty mad to get a 50bhp gain on a NA car but it was a marketing exercise. It's got low spec brakes compared tot he 130i and also different box ratios, but still corker. The lowest weight 6 cylinder BMW have ever done due to magnesium heads etc. Bullet proof too.
GT86 is close to 15k now, few up at 16k so imagine so haggling, or a 370z.
