Agreed, again not sure on timeframe, I spent about a year looking for my 1er, but it's mint, had 47000km (like 30000 miles), third party warranty, new tires, new shift knob, set of spare wheels + tires and was 23,000 CAD (20,000ish USD) and his price was a little on the high end given the market here. 21,500-22,000 would have been fair to both parties. Purchased in August, 14

Anyone live in Illinois and want to check this out for me or want to give any input on this one? It looks good, but unfortunately I'm a bit far away to take a look at it.

I bought my 135 from them. Found it over the Internet. As for a dealer, they're OK. I had to tell them to supply me with a second key since the car had only one. They said that's all BMW supplied as new. Wrong! Then they lied and said it'll take over a week to get a second key. Wrong again. I had called my dealer in Cincy and they said they could overnight it and have it the next day. Laurel finally caved and supplied the second key and programmed it in two days.

Since you won't be getting the car serviced there, make sure they supply the entire service history to you. I requested it and they did. Forget about CarFax. That's pretty much worthless. With that low of miles, the car still needs to be maintained and things like oil, battery and other fluids need to be changed.
