2009 BMW 135I 70K Miles

N54Angel · 07-25-2016, 06:32 PM

So currently I own a 2008 BMW 335XI 6 speed with 127K miles. I can get my hands on a BMW 135I with 70k miles automatic and M Sports Package for under 11K is it worth the change or should I stick to my 335XI. I've put some money into my 335XI and as of now works like a brand new car. They both have the n54 engine. Is it worth it? How much does the 135I retail for? Here are some pictures of the 135I and my beautiful 335XI

I am a 19 year old so I don't have a family I need to have in my car. I don't care about space or any of that. My 335XI was purchased cash and so would the 135I. Before any of you say my "daddy" got it. I've worked hard and I'm currently a car sales men and a realtor and make a good amount of money for my age. Luck has not been on my side. It's called working my ass off. I live in Denver Colorado so snow would be a big factor but again I could always drive my 4x4 chev Tahoe. My 335XI I've put around 2-3K in mods and maintenance. I'm sure some of the stuff I have on my 335Xi I can transfer into the 135I maybe the ECS rotors I purchased too?

I would keep your 335XI. You bought it new and know all the maintenance that has been done. That is worth a lot. Since snow is not an issue since you have a 4x4 to use but I would still keep the 335XI.

I bought my 335XI with 65K miles for 14K of a old man he was my customer that I sold a house too.

Used cars are always a crap shoot. I really like my 1-Series cars, but I bought them newer and with less miles than what you are describing. You already know your current car well. Those times that I have made a swap like the one you are describing, I have generally come to regret it. You are talking about swapping a known entity for an unknown one, and usually any news that comes along in that situation is bad news, and then usually after you have any recourse. If you had a pile of money in the bank to take care of any potential problems, that would be one thing, but I would bet that you don't.

What do you not like about the 335, how is the 135 different...

iEuropa · 07-25-2016, 11:42 PM

If it's in good condition that's a steal for a 135I. I'm making no exaggeration in saying that within 750 miles of Washington DC, in seven months, I never found a deal that good. I paid a deal more than that and for a car with 90k miles on it, was not m sport either.

yeah under 11k is seriously crazy....

N54Angel · 07-26-2016, 03:58 PM

Quick update I ended up purchasing it for $9,800 at the auction. And sold it to my co worker for $13,000 I still don't have the money, he is going through his bank. I purchased it cash. I decided my 3 series is better for me. Thank you all
