Thanks again.
Autotrader has many, but if you want CPO'd ones, just go directly to the bmwusa.com site and you can search for CPOs.

If you like the normal m-sport wheels, I wouldn't get TOO hung up on the i vs is thing because you can easily add the performance power kit (20 hp) and/or performance exhaust to basically turn it into a makeshift 135is or do it over time.

I did see a new carbon black 135is convertible (DCT) down at BMW of Encinitas which is a bit far, and there's a carbon black 135is coupe with 3-4,000 miles on it at pacific BMW in stick if you at least want to drive that and have a stick version to see if you can really even notice the added power of that 20 horsies.

I know someone on here is selling a white with coral red 135is 6MT convertible with 5 or 6,000 miles, but it's way out in North Carolina. So, not sure what colors you want, if the DCT is a dealbreaker, or how far and wide you may want to go to find a car. ebay believe it or not has a ton of listings, too if you want to check there.
