Ownership history:
I am the third owner. I purchased the car in September 2014 with 61K miles on it. I drove the car as my daily driver between 2014 and 2019. Between 2019 and present, I have primarily been driving my truck, and havent driven the 135i that much.
The second owner was the above-mentioned car dealer in New Jersey, who drove the car as his personal vehicle. He owned the car for a little over a year, from 44K miles to 61K. He performed the JB4, downpipe, intercooler, and DCI modifications.
The original owner purchased the car in Maryland and owned/drove it in the Virginia area for the first 44K miles.
Thanks for looking.
