///N54 · 10-03-2011, 08:23 PM

For 135i, maybe

128i, not really

szcyxzh · 10-03-2011, 10:53 PM

You like it, that's the point. Cheer for the 1.

Venom · 10-03-2011, 10:55 PM

Thats why I bought my 135i for...

JSGBRL · 10-03-2011, 11:11 PM

That's a good price for Canada. Cars are more expensive here than in the US.

Venom · 10-03-2011, 11:34 PM

Yes, maybe a little. The base price for a new base 128i coupe is $36,000 in CA whereas the USA version is $33,375.
This still does not make it a good deal. Especially as it is almost out of warranty...

jermzkill · 10-04-2011, 06:23 AM

i bought my 128i for $22k with 35k miles on it and I thought I got it for cheap. You will honestly probably not find a 128i for cheaper than what you posted. I don't know why they are listed well above KBB value...

On the other hand I got a 2011 128i with 6,000 miles for 29,750. Automatic, space gray metallic with premium package and alarm. I bought the car from a BMW dealer.

mma600psi · 10-04-2011, 08:57 AM

I think the local market has a lot to do with it also. In NJ/NY the cars were going for a lot more, so I went to PA and got a 2009 128i convertible with 6,000 mi, cold weather package, upgraded sound package for $26,000. Its immaculate.

I also searched and looked what was around for about 6 months.

That's a good deal, but I didn't want to spend above $24k

DDS2015 · 10-04-2011, 10:37 AM

Milage is a bit high for that price IMO. I'd get them to either cpo it or drop the price by 2k.

///N54 · 10-04-2011, 06:19 PM

I bought my fully loaded 135 with 30,000 km with CPO warranty
for 40k
just find a 135, so much better lol

RobM23 · 10-05-2011, 01:18 PM

Ive seen 135i's down here for 25 with 30ish thousand miles, that 128i is overpriced.

amancuso · 10-05-2011, 01:40 PM

Looks like a good price for a Canada car. Inventory is different up there. That being said I walked out the door with mine for $27,900.00

At the time (Nov 2010)
31,300 miles
Cold weather
Sport
Premium
Bluetooth, iPod
Leather
6spd Steptronic w/paddles.

Can you link to me to a 135i for $25k with 30k miles? I've never seen any that low...

Any CPO? I'll believe this when I see it.

BTW: Search Results

We found 0 listings within 50 miles of Hialeah, FL .

btw that one just got 18ish. I paid 24,995 for my 2008 with 33ish and they had another one black/red for the same price but with 40ish. so paying $26,976 is pretty good.

jaf89f · 10-05-2011, 03:45 PM

I was able to pick up my 2008 128i with only 11K miles, manual, premium, cold weather for $19,900 back in April 2010.
