We went to buy a VW polo but got a 130i instead

[CamZo]

So after 6years of driving a vw 1.4 chico... my brother went car shopping... eventually he decided to get the new Vw polo 1.4 comfortline.. ( yes I did try to convince him on a bmw) so well the papers were ready all we had to do is sign and pay a deposit... so we get to the vw dealership and as we walking in.. a beauty catches my eye... absolutely stunning. its an E87 130i. I immediately float towards the car having a look and then the bmw did the convincing for me... my bro told the new car sales man sorry but I am buying a BMW today... :roflol:

2006 E87 130i
90000 km with motorplan extended to end of the year/100 000km
M package
no accidents just a few stone chips

all for an unbelievable price of 147K:biglol:

here she is

I was about to get the ban hammer ready.


I am glad your bro made the sane choice, hope he has many happy miles in it, it looks really awesome (just tell him to get a replacement for the missing tailpiece)


I am also expecting a proper 330D + 130i photoshoot else I might have to get the ban hammer after all

 

[P1000]

Awesome!

@Sankekur Thnx bud ya glad he made the right choice...The tailpiece was on and just disappeared today its kinda weird but Vw said they will replace it for him. I would love to have a proper photo shoot but I dont have a good camera best cam in the house is my phone lol

Tnx P1000

nice looking,the tailpipes just slide on,thight fit,i actually want to drill and pop rivet mine on.

glad he bought the bm and not the polo

 

[CamZo]

@herr really they just slide on? so its a possibility it couldve fell off?

 

[Sankekur]

If I am not mistaken the newer ones just slide on, think andrew said its like that on his dad's 525i, but not sure if is should be that way. On mine the tips are welded on.

 

[CamZo]

thats crazy now thieves can steal tailpieces:thumbdo:

 

[herr bmw]

yep i bought mine at bmw and had them fit it when i picked up the car after a service,took them five minutes with a plastic hammer.

has a dimple to ensure a tight fit,but would sugest pop rivets

 

[Sankekur]

that's nothing, it is possible to steal both front and rear bumpers off the e46 without unlocking the car :mmm:, best protection against this is to lower the car so that it is too hard to get under it properly

 

[CamZo]

No wonder in europe there cars literally scrape the ground its not for looks but for protection lol

 

[herr bmw]

what are those marks on the windscreen and bonnet,in white?

 

[Sankekur]

I assumed it was the dealership that wrote something on the car. Something like: "Epic BMW, keep out of sight of people coming in to buy a brand new Polo"

 

[naushad]

I would still weld the tailpieces after fitting them, sankekur where do ustay, I like ur bumpers!

 

[CamZo]

@Sankekur:roflol: Well it could mean that aswell...

@herr well I am Indian (Tamil to be specific) and when ever we buy a car we take it for prayers as to ward off any evil and protect the car from accidents etc

 

[Sankekur]

Yeah see I know about how to do it so I took special precautions.....my car will eat you if you try to take it......

 

[kabal]

probably cost the same as the polo too, but you get twice the car :bravo:

 

[Twinz]

Congrats. The 130 is a fine choice...enjoy:thumbs: now will your bro join fanatics as well?

 

[Peejay]

:thumbs:Car looks good dude. Well done.

 

[Onyx]

That's just a whole lot more car than the Polo would ever be :thumbs:

Congrats.
