Apart from having a convenient fuel economy figure of 9.2L/100 Km, ideal for a daily driver, the stylish BMW 130i E87 gives you one of the best value-for-money rates due to its highly collectible silhouette. The car's unique sporty interior design includes fantastic seats, an excellent sound system, and plenty of space, delivering a comfortable, smooth ride for drivers and passengers. It comes out of the factory with 17-inch wheels and a 205/50/R17 tire setup to hit the pavement, all supported by the spring strut suspension type and assisted by ventilated discs with an ABS braking system. The BMW 130i E87 represents one of the best choices for drivers looking for good handling, sporty looks, and premium reliability at an affordable cost.
