Not a n00b, but I've got a few questions before buying a 1 series.

Looking at picking up a 135i and I'm looking for some answers.

First off, would you buy an '08 with 80k miles? It has been taken care of and brought to the BMW dealership, but everything I've looked at has lower miles. When I asked about the HPFP, he knew what I was talking about and said it was already replaced along with the water pump.

Second off, how does JB3 work? He said the car has a JB3 20hp chip. I'm unfamiliar with Juice Box tunes or how they work. I've had a piggyback on my Miata and swapped it over to a standalone Megasquirt, but don't know what JB tunes are classified as. I tend to stray away from 'chips' because I feel out of control as far as tuning.

Anything else I should really look for or look at when I go to check it out?

I appreciate any replies!
