Hi everyone! I'm looking to sell my beautiful 2008 N54 135i in Montego Blue with the 6-speed manual! I am planning to switch into a Camaro SS 1LE.

I bought the car here on 1Addicts back in 2012 from another member, even flying across the country to drive it home. Apparently the blue 6MT cars are not that common. The car is "purist spec" with few options. The manual seats have been perfectly adjustable for my needs. Never missed leather or power seats.

The car drives really well. The car is mostly stock with the exception of an awesome TCKline coilover suspension and Vorschlag camber plates. I have single-adjustables up front on 350 lb/in, and double-adjustables in the rear on 500 lb/in springs. I've tracked the car lightly once, about three years ago, and it worked fine. I have a set of Hawk HT10 race pads, used once, that are included in the sale. The car also has stainless steel brake lines.

Currently the car has around 97,000 miles with no mechanical problems. Recent maintenance in the last few months includes walnut blasting, valve cover gasket, oil housing gasket, and new battery. The oil was last changed at Santa Monica BMW two months ago. The car was driven only 30k miles in four years, most of them on the highway, very rarely for short trips. The car also got new rear brake pads and rotors, and Michelin Pilot Supersport tires (225mm front, 255mm rear) about 8-10K miles ago. They're in great shape. Also two years ago, I did spark plugs, coolant, trans/diff fluid, power steering fluid, thermostat, and water pump. Most of the common issues in these cars have been recently addressed. It's always been reliable, never given me an issue -- no HPFP, no turbo issues ever. The only work that needs to be done soon is front brake pads and rotors, and a brake flush. Oil has been changed religiously every year or 5k miles, whichever comes first. Note that there is a bad tire pressure sensor that I didn't bother to fix since it turned on in March 2016 (but I check tire pressures manually every other fuel fill-up).

Cosmetically, the car has a small dent in the plastic part of the rear bumper underneath the passenger tail light. It's not really visible unless you are close. The front of the car has some small rock chips from normal highway use, and a small scrape low on the passenger side of the bumper. The bumper has never been drilled to mount a front plate (I use a tow hook mount). Interior-wise, the driver's seat has some wear on the thigh bolster and the steering wheel and shifter show some wear. The car has always been hand waxed.

The car comes with the spare Hawk HT10 race pads that have seen only one use, and the genuine BMW roof crossbars for mounting bikes, surfboards, etc.

I have title in hand and all maintenance records in digital form. Two weeks ago, I got the notice that driver's airbag recall parts are now available. This warranty service is transferable upon sale so is not an issue to get it performed. I plan to schedule an appointment soon, but in case I sell the car before the recall service is performed, it will not be an issue for you.

Here are some nice photos I took of the car. Let me know if you have specific requests for certain angles, details, or whatever.

The first set of pics are from a couple years ago when I did a photoshoot. These are from before the Michelin tires and the TCKline coilover drop, which looks and handles amazingly.

The smartphone snaps in the garage were taken in May 2016 (last time I had listed the car for sale). It looks basically the same today -- no mods and only 4k miles since then.

***SOLD! $12.5K***

what are the last 8 of the vin? i can look up the build sheet. so no sport or leather? interior pix?

[R3ctivision]

Last 8 of VIN: 8VF22793
No leather, it is leatherette on the manual sport seats. I don't recall what the Sport Package itself had, was it just the sport suspension and exhaust, or did all 135is have it?

Adding some more pics from this past spring to the OP.

Beautiful car man!!! Same options as mine. Wouldn't have it any other way

[R3ctivision]

Thanks juggernaut! The car has been amazing

[R3ctivision]

Bump.. if the car is not sold by Saturday, I will most likely trade it in to a Chevy dealer for a new SS 1LE. I hope an enthusiast on here gets it instead! It would be a waste of the nice suspension to trade it in. I am open to offers.

[R3ctivision]

Car is pending sale on Friday. And I did buy the SS 1LE, decided not to trade.

Car was sold last week for $12.5K. Thanks Adrian, from Idaho! Hope to see this car on the forums again =)
