Item Interest

I have a 2008 135i for sale. It’s an alpine white, 6MT, boston interior. I looked forever trying to find this car and I love it so much, but I need to sell it as I have its newer replacement M2 sitting in the garage now.

I bought it with 79k miles back in 2014, it has 117k miles on it now. I took it to Thunderhill, the first week I had it, but other than that it hasn’t seen the track.

Paint is in great condition, I had it ceramic coated back in 2015, and have taken nice care of it since.

Specs:
-m sport suspension
-m leather steering wheel
-manual sports seats
-adaptive xenon lights
-moon roof
-no nav

Mods:
-cobb tuner
-ER chargepipe
-ER intercooler
-burger dual cone intake
-5mm wheel spacers

Recent service:
-oil filter housing/seals @ 79k

-spark plugs @ 90k
-ignition coils @ 90k
-walnut blast @ 90k
-front pads/rotors @ 90k

-pilot supersports @ 101k

-windshield washer reservoir @ 110k

-all recalls done @ 116k

-valve cover and gasket replaced @ 117k
-turbo vacuum lines @ 117k
-rear pads/rotors/fluid @ 117k

Cons:
-it’s got the annoying N54 wastegate rattle
-there are some squeaks in the dash that sometimes show up
-rear tires probably need replacement before the rainy season


I just registered and smogged it, so it’s ready to go.

It’s located in Santa Clara, CA. Let me know if you’re interested in taking a look, or have any questions.

Good luck with sale; I love to see these cars on their OE wheels, 264's in this case.
I certainly believe that rust free, manual tranny BMWs, esp small sporty ones, will always hold their value. Therefore I predict that someone could buy this car for 9500, drive it for 10 years, and sell it in 2030 for 9500 or more.
I bought a 1989 325iX in 2004 for 6K, drove it (summers only) for 12 years and then sold it for $9K.

I hear it under decel, mostly when driving next to something that reflects sound, like a bridge. I can try and take a video, but not sure how it will turn out.
