Out of curiosity. Who still owns a 135is?

Not an OG owner, but owner nonetheless. Good to see a 1 of 2 Bluewater is here on the forum!

Same here. Thank you! I connected with the OG owner of the other Bluewater BC (Before Corona) to see if I can pick it up from him. He had just traded it in or sold it. I don’t recall. It had over 90K on the clock.

No. 2nd. Picked up with 19k miles. Now has 40

OG owner here, I still have her since brand new and is currently a few miles shy of 63K.

Slightly modified and has generally been reliable.

Things that failed on me over the 11 years are: Water pump, Coolant Reservoir, DMTL pump, 1 headlight assembly (water ingress), 1 xenon bulb, OFHG, Valve cover gasket, and Oil pan gasket.

Overall, not too bad IMHO. She is about to take a short break because I'm about to get my second car running.

I think you, GREGTHEGR8 and I might be the last 3 standing, and with mine up for auction on cars and bids today, it'll be just you two left from the 2013 group

Nana, I’m curious to see why you chose to list your is on C&B and not on BAT since the latter has a much larger audience hence the chance of getting more for your beautiful and low mileage is. Either way it sucks that you are parting with it.

So here’s #139. Overheated on the way to work Friday, 41k miles. Fortunately just a few miles from the independent Euro shop I use. Haven’t gotten a diagnosis yet but I’m guessing it’s the water pump.

Purchased fall of 2020 and she still puts a smile on my face 🙂

Cars and Bids sold my cars twin last year for a nice amount, so I went with them this time as well - worked out well, the car went for more than I would have imagined

As for letting it go, it was time for the next owner of this fantastic machine, I enjoyed my time as the caretaker, but it's someone else's turn to enjoy.

Electric water pump supposed to last minimum of 60K miles according to what I’ve read and heard. I guess 40K is the magic number for preventative maintenance

Hey all, do I understand correctly that the 08-13 135i's have the twin turbo N54 but that the 13 135is has the N55?

[blue135]

I believe the '08-'10s have N54 with the switch to the N55 after that

That is correct
