I didn't realize the BMW 1-series had become such a deal used. There's quite a few 128is for sale for for around $20,000.

It's kinda derpy looking in the front, but IIRC it drives supremely well, basically being like that the E46 was. Plus it's one of the last cars to have the N/A 3.0L I6.

I do wonder if the 228i will become the same sort of deal in a few years time. Just in time for me to pick one up..

You should check out used M3´s. They depreciate like nothing else....

That's a good deal IMO, but it's actually hold value well compared to its more expensive stablemates

Wow, that's terrible for people who buy new.

But great for people like me who would be buying used. Though I already have an E36 M3 at my disposal!

Used BMWs are generally a great deal if you understand they're not going to be as cheap as a Camry to maintain.

"Whelp...may as well shut down the company. Logan's forgotten about us, so there's no reason for us to be in business anymore. Sorry everyone. It was fun while it lasted... :("

Hey, I'm going to need a Silverado to tow my BMW track car eventually!

$20k gets you a 135i.. $15k is more 128i territory.

On the subject of which, how's the de-pricing going?

I just had a look at my local used market... Normally I'm not much of a BMW guy, but at about six grand, a 130i M Sport does make for a rather tempting proposition.

Screw that. Look at all the M5's there are out there for real steals.

It's unbelievable!!!!!

Waiting for the shocks and ABS sensor. We're going to fix the misaligned bumpers this weekend and put the glovebox back in. Oh, and getting some leather dye to fix the door panels where the leather was messed up while taking the carbon fiber tape off it.

As expensive as a plain BMW is to maintain, I have to imagine a V10 powered M5 has to be sooo much more.

I saw a couple 128is at $15k, but there were approaching or had over 100,000 miles. $20k seems about the average here.

ArchDuke just picked up a sweet 128i M-sport a couple weeks ago, here.

weird, I see plenty around me with 60ishK on them and 6MT between $14-16k. $20k gets a 135i with 70-80k on it. The 1 series is pretty popular around me though.
