WTB: 135i manual under $45k

[Anasasis]

Hi,

I'm new to the 1 series and am looking to jump in the deep end and get a 135i.
I can and will travel for the right car, I not in a huge rush to buy anything as I have another car to drive.

As I'm a student I only have a 45k budget.

I would like the car to at least have:
-Aftermarket wheels and tyres
-Sunroof
-Professional gps
-Manual (could be convinced to go flappy paddle)
-Under 80,000km or very well maintained over 80


Hopefully these forums can help me out, been lurking for a while.

Pretty significant budget,

I don't think you should have too much of an issue locating something of that nature.

Wrong country

A 1M is still at least AUD $75K down here.

[Anasasis]

Nowhere near a 1m unfortunately.

45k is a stretch and I'd rather spend less obviously.

I'll check that grey one out Totti.

Dan, I'll shoot you a pm.

Updated op with some more information.

Some very nice ones popping up on carsales, you're lucky you live on the good side of Australia. I was forced to buy interstate as the prices here in Western Australia are a good 5-10k difference, seems they think everyone is on a miners wage.

You've got a fantastic budget, you shouldn't have to much drama finding a good clean one.

Thanks.
Some of the best buys I've seen have been in nsw/melb, saw one of two good buys disappear in WA. Been looking for about 4 months now.

I paid $32k for a 135i in January 2014, 72,000kms. Market value is late 20s. Trade in is low 20s

Cheers!
I've been watching the market for about 1 year now. I have a lot of spare time at work and I like to browse carsales for various cars.

I'm going to be picky and try and find a fully optioned car at the least, one with mods and lower km would be ideal.

Have a look at carsales, I don't see any 135i's below $30,000 with reasonably low km.

I'd suggest $35,000 with ~60,000km would be a more appropriate median.

$30,000 with ~100,000km
