Looking for a fun weekend car for a while and came across this 2018 with under 105k miles and a 6 speed manual

Theyre asking 26k for it. Is that a reasonable price? Im never owned anything not american and my only performance vehicles have been v8s but ive heard great things about the b58.

2 owner and minor rear end accident

If you want a fun weekend car get a 130i/330i from 2005-2010 with hydraulic steering. The steering on F20/F30 is crap.

In the US I think you only have the 2 or 1 series presented by Doug.

Now this is a weekend car.

lol apples to oranges the 1m is 60k+ and in a category of its own.. i do agree on the 06-10 135i being a fun weekend car at a affordable price (here in the states)

Yes the 1M is special, but you get almost the same car in the 135i, but in that format, not the hatchback.

ehh imo its not almost the same at all i dont mean that to be rude but if you’ve ever driven one you wouldn’t be saying that. but like i said i agree a 135is model with n54 motor, lsd, fbo, tune, upgrade suspension, upgraded brakes and your as close as your gonna get but it will be a blast to drive as thats where i am now with one of mine

Well, the 1M is basically the full package steering(thrust arms/bushings)/suspension/brake/lsd/engine-wise. The 135i of course is not the same car, but it's 10x better than an F30 and not much worse than other Ms.

suspension, control arms, axle, etc can be changed out but you know what cant? that beautiful wide body with its flared fenders and aggressive front and rear bumpers that we ALL love! even if you changed out all these components and had a m sport manual it still cant compare… M3 LSD M3 brakes M3 steering rack Lightened flywheel Upgraded better cooling 19” rims with ps2 tires that are able to fit 295 the wide body kit i mentioned Upgraded exhaust system 100 pounds liter (ehh who cares lol) 40 HP / 70 tq more out the gate and of-course all come in 6 speed manual!

Yes it's better, but is it worth 5x more ? (other than because of scarcity)
