WTB 128i MT M Sport

[Almuliman]

Update: I found one! As of yesterday, I'm the fortunate owner of a 2013 Le Mans Blue 6MT 128i with All The Things. Pics to come.

Now that the 128i in Beaverton was sold out from under me, I'm back on the hunt.

MT and Sport / M Sport are non-negotiable. Almost everything else will depend on price, overall condition, mileage, etc. I prefer the LCI cars and no more than, say, 110-ish K miles, and am willing to travel.

My wish list is: Not white or black exterior, Xenons, Comfort Access, heated and electric seats.

If anybody comes across an example that meets the above (or want to sell me theirs , please let me know.

Thanks for any and all help with my search. One day, The Right Car shall be mine!

Good luck on your search. Many of us have been there and done that already and can appreciate what it takes to find the right car. Never give up!

(Though I really don't understand what you have against Alpine White! )

Thanks. To be fair, it's black that's nearly a deal breaker. White looks good, but there are too many white cars out there and I like color better. Ideally one of the blues, but I have to say the grays can look fantastic on a 1.

$21 large in Portland but only 36k miles.

And white.

Black is the real deal breaker (and it turns out that if one counts Carbon Black as black, that's not even true – saw a picture of RoadAmerica8's... O.M.G.), but that one blows my budget by a lot. Nice, though. Hope it goes to a good home.

I'm checking out a semi-local 2013 LMB this morning. It's got (gag) iDrive, but is otherwise just right. We'll see...

Here's a 2011 Titanium Silver one, just in case. 54k miles, $11k. No I-Drive, a little curbing on the wheels but otherwise clean (in the pictures). in FL unfortunately:

Something is fishy... that car just sold on BaT for like $16k a few weeks ago. I doubt someone would list it back up for sale for $11k immediately after paying that much for it.

EDIT: Yeah, it's a scam: https://www.scampulse.com/wheeler-auto-mall-reviews

Wow, familiar with the BAT transaction but didn't even link the two.

Crazy to think our cars are suddenly in such demand that they are the basis for Internet scams! Be careful out there.

It looks like they have nearly 100 BMWs listed on that "dealership" site, most of which I recognize from BaT and all use nearly verbatim the BaT description.

How does something like this exist?

May also just be an info generator to sell phone numbers/names/email addresses.

That would assume they actually had something to sell or switch you to, which I find doubtful. Like most Internet scams, just to add to a contact file.

Did anyone grab the seller's contact info by any chance. Looked at it a few days ago and the post was still live. Don't think it sold yet.

Sorry for the thread hijack OP!
