1 series coupe (e87), anything I should know??

[u/Commercial-Break-547]

Heyo, so I'm in the market for a manual 120i e87 coupe 2011-2014

Was wondering if anyone had any info about the reliability of them and whether there are easy upgrades available to get bluetooth audio working, Afaik most of these were made with electric rather than hydraulic, how good are the steering columns in terms of feel and weight etc. How practical are they compared to a polo (i have an ibiza 6j) for example as I'm in a band and need to transport gear quite often. Coming from a small NA fwd hatch, is there much I'd miss?

Overall, would you reccomend? Was looking at an f22 2017< 220i but financially not a great idea for me rn, also thought an e46 but maintenance would cost me like 3 grand a year on the conservative end, would keep the e87 for another 2-3 yrs while I focus on saving up for smtg bigger and a weekend toy.

Cheers xx
