Quite tempting based on OTR price and spec - standard includes xexons, leather etc 
 
Think its worth a look and performance stats look good 
 
Sub 30k car for 320 BHP and sub 5 secs 0 to 60 
 
Also strange the 5 door is 2k cheaper than the 3 door

That sounds really good, until you walk out the door every morning to bring your breakfast straight back up.

exactly - although surely depends on numbers sold etc 
 
the 130i always kept a high premium due to the engine and package

Just had a quick look at the old shape 130's. 
 
08, 18k miles, 130i M-Sport, 15k from a dealer. 
 
5.9 to 60, what is the realistic mpg like on them? 
 
What engine is it in the old one, 3.0 N/A or a smaller turbo?

130i is a 3.0 staright six 263BHP out of e90 era  
 
MPG isnt good on town driving  -low 20's but high 30's on a run  
 
the ones to get are the 130i LE with carbon black, BBS wheels and lemon leather interior in 3 door form

Takes a while for the new BMW designs to grow on you IMO

I like them already, love the DRLs.  
 
Looks like a decent allround package. Shame they didnt just stick with MSport speccing rather than lashing an Mbadge on the back of it.

Horrid looking cars. Did top gear do a test with the 130i and the mk5 R32 and the golf scrub it in all departments???

i think the golf did win the test but by no means is top gear the benchmark 
 
I know evo rated the 130i highly

apparently the 5 door is a miss price based on conversation with the dealer this morning 
 
The 5 door is £500 dearer making it just over 30k for 5 door and no DCT option which is bizzare
