2008 135i with low miles.
Hello, I am newbie here. Also posted same post on another forum. I will delete the post if it is a problem.
I currently own X5 4.8i using it as family car and want to buy another commute car for myself. The car I am looking at is 2008 135i 6-speed manual coupe with sport, premium package (I think that was everything in back 2008). No nav, I don't need it actually. The car has little less than 19000miles. It was local trade in car which was taken care in BMW dealer all the time. HPFI was replaced around 13k miles. They are out for little less than $23k from local BMW dealer. Do you guys think it is a good deal? Anything I need to worry about or check before I purchase it? Any inputs are appreciated. Thanks in advance |

Price is a smidgen high IMO. At 21ish I'd be a buyer.
FWIW I just picked up a 2011 135i DCT with 68k miles for 19k. I'm the third owner (was a lease, sold as a CPO car and then owned for about a year. Second owner put a ton of highway miles on it) Came with full book of records, no accidents, and the balance of the CPO warranty. There are deals to be had. |

I got my 2011 Msport w/33k for ~26k had a bumper to bumper aftermarket warranty till 60K or 2019 ( that transferred to me). Came with a Cobb APv3 and Dinan exhaust (dealer installed) FYI. I flew to Cali and drove it back, financed through my credit union super easy process to get the out of state financing done.

Check out this video: helps with used car pre-purchases. I wish I did this before I bought mine. I could have gotten mine for a cheaper price. I would definitely take it to a mechanic before purchase. |

I purchased a one owner 2008 135i 1 yr ago from a private party. It had 13,000 miles, and the service history was similar to the one you're looking at. Price was about the same. It was in perfect condition, always garaged, and never flogged The owner was a stand up, mature adult. The car was exactly what I was looking for (model, options, color, condition, milage, service hx). For me price became secondary because it was the car I wanted. We quickly agreed on a price … everybody happy. I'm still happy. Final thought: a PPI is always a good idea, however on this car - I just thought "f it". Wrote the check and drove it home - no regrets.
