WTB 135i Convertible

[Opentoplvr]

Must be in excellent condition, prefer N55 engine model, low km. Based in Ottawa but willing to drive to see the right car. This will be used as a summer fun ride, not a daily driver. Prefer stock.

kind of similar to mine with ~100k less miles

Nice car. What price are you expecting. I’m not really interested in participating in an auction so if that is your preference, I will pass on it.

Sorry for any confusion, this isn't my car and I have no direct affiliation with it. I posted the Bring a Trailer link because it has great picture content showing off the car. The car went Reserve Not Met on the auction site and now looks to be for sale currently on the BMW Car Club of America site as a direct (non auction) listing .
This is the second link I posted. It's listed at $19,xxx. No clue how flexible the current owner is on pricing, but the auction closed at $16,xxx and he/she didn't accept that.

I check the classifieds from time to time just to see what is out there and this particular one was the nicest I've seen in a while based solely on the pictures. I haven't seen it in person. If you're not a BMW CCA member, let me know and I can share the seller's info with you via PM.

looks like it based on the listing.

I was looking a few years ago, and have some tips that helped me. Set up RSS feeds for searches from Kijiji, so that any 135i that comes up does right into an RSS feed reader (like Feedly). Setup notifications on Autotrader and Facebook. I found 2, after looking for 6 months, within a day of each other. the 2012 135i hardtop with 35K kms on it, one owner, and a 2011 135i vert US car, with 60k kms on it. First was about 4 hours away in QC and the second (that I bought) was in Hamilton.
Finally, get ready to jump if it looks like what you want. I had bought mine within an hour of it being up on Kijiji (put a deposit down after talking to the guy for a 1/2 hour)

Hope this helps, and good luck with the search, they are still out there with low mileage. Mine currently has only 46k kms, and is all stock, and I'll probably keep it that way. I only put 3-4k kms on it per year, also in Ottawa, so it's stored every winter.

Thanks. Great approach you used. I looked at a couple of 135i models but ended up getting a 2013 335i in Montreal with 58K on it. It’s in very good condition. My only slight regret is it’s automatic and I’m still pining for a manual…
