    I did 88,000 miles in one 10 years or so ago when it was my company car for 2 years. I loved it to bits, put a smile on my face every time I cold started it in the morning, such a lovely engine. I was single and sprogless at time so I didn't care about boot space or bumpy back road ride. Great size too, easy to park, easy to dart about in traffic, instant torque. I was based in North Wales (Ruthin) at the time and had to drive through mid Wales to South Wales a lot as well as all over the country but late-night drives home through mid-Wales in that car were special - windows open, foot down.

      Older N52 motor (not sure what year in the 1 series but I think around 2007) was a lot more reliable, the later N53 was the engine that suffered from HPFP and injector issues, a lot owere rectified with stronger parts under warranty, so should be less of an issue today.

      Generally the N52;s are known to be solid engines, nothing to worry about as long as it's been maintained properly. If you prefer a coupe you could always grab yourself a 125i which is the same engine as the 130i but restricted. So a simple map gets you to about 270bhp in a small 1 series coupe with a manual box.
