I'm in the exact same situation and got a MINT 2013 128i with 67K miles for $9,000 lol. Great to put miles on while staying in the BMW fam. I do regret not getting a 135i, there's plenty of low mile cars in the classifieds section for $15-17K. Knowing how you mod, i can picture a monster daily, more like a sheep in wolf's clothing. Hell, you can even slap a 128i batch and start messing with people

I got a manual passat back in April, its been a lot of fun driving it and modifying
yes I know I said I won't be modifying it but I can't help myself!
I already drove it 10k miles since April and I honestly love it!
its a 2.5 litter 5 cyl engine, no turbo, its def lucking in speed but its good enough for what I use it for!
I still like GTIs GLIs and Rs but they would not be as practical for my needs, maybe in the future!
Thanks for u input!
