Saw this and was wondering if the HP/TQ numbers would be accurate with the mods listed. Probley not, but with all those goodies in it is it worth the 40K price tag? Or would you be better off buying new? I think it looks nice with the wheels, tint and being lowered.

"This 135i was definitely babied pampered and its shows by its outstanding condition" + K-40 radar, 19's OZ wheels, H& R Coilovers, DINAN Stage 2 chip, CP-E downpipes, Greddy blow-off valves, = DOES NOT COMPUTE

Even with the mods it's still expensive for a used 135i, and the evidence suggests that the 20k miles put on it weren't mostly from lazy strolls through the long, quiet countryside.

It sure is gorgeous though.

no because mods usually don't provide additional value unless the buyer is interested in the same mods as the seller. I wouldn't pay that price especially there is a chance the warranty is voided already and service must be performed through dinan dealers

Has full factory warrenty. HAHAHAHAHAHA not a chance.

OZ wheels are

tho

They're out of their mind trying to sell the car with the mods on it, and thinking they add value. If anything I'd knock a couple stacks off the value because of all that!

Maybe the current owner hasn't had the car in for service with the mods in place...? There are plenty of heavily modded N54 cars with warranty. It's just a matter of handling things the right way when it comes to service.

I'm not a fan of 19s on these cars, at all, but I'll go "+1" on that comment. They look great on that car.

I was planning on jumping on this, but the owner prob went gun-ho with the 20k...actually I think there were 3 owners... (is that good?) When I saw this car, it made choosing a color alot easier

, I do like the painted badges, and +1 on the wheels, never though that 19s would look nice on it, let alone wheels that shiny

since I'm more into black or gunmetal grey.

It is a beautiful car but for the same price I'd rather get those 20k miles back and drive stock.

OZ wheels are win, but the car is missing a pedal
