Does the price seem reasonable becasue it is a 130, not a 135?  Very odd ad.

I agree, the ad is a bit oddly written, but from what I’ve seen lately the price doesn’t seem super unreasonable. Maybe a grand to two high, but manual 128i’s with the sport or m sport package are very hard to come by, especially with low miles and good color combinations like this one. This is one of the nicest I’ve seen recently, and it’s actually semi-local to us which is also uncommon, it seems like there’s more of them out west or down south.

For reference, a non-sport 6spd 128i sold on BaT recently for $16k, so viewed in that light this car is a steal.

Um... what.  I feel like he typed as if he was talking.  Like when you ask how much power something makes and it starts at "Well, from the factory it makes like 300hp but then I added this and it's like 476hp but ya know it was on a semi truck dyno so the rollers probably added drag so it's really like 634hp but I've driven my uncles ZR1 and that's like 700hp and this feels faster than that"

I have $18,500 in upgrades. No joke, a full 22k+ worth!!

The more I look at this the more fun things I have with this.  First of all, based on what he says he's spending on this shit I have a box of hats I'd like to sell him.

Had my eyes on this one, literally the same spec as my first car down to the pin stripes. Mine was $1k with similar mileage albeit rusty 11 years ago.

$9k for a 528e with 171,000 miles? Am I missing something?

To think 10 years ago I was about to buy one like it for half the price, and i thought it was expensive.  Bought the roadster instead. What a fool.

 Even the non-M shoe's are getting pricey these days.

What's left of the +/- 100k 528e's have been around $5-6 for a while now and 535i's go for what great M5's were 6 years ago and now low end current M5 prices.yet. This was $10k over imo. People just throw their wallets at these auctions.

That gauge cluster add on with the digital gauges is neat.  I haven't seen one of those before.

yes, but the red one has been resprayed, but not full resprayed. maybe vinyl wrapped? The engine bay, door jambs, etc are still bronze.
