Sometimes we have to do things we don't want to do.

I hope I can hang on to it, but man has life been pretty bad the last few years. Thanks.

JM35 · 06-18-2014, 04:12 PM

I understand. How imminent of an issue are the leaky turbo seals?/is it something fixable or something that needs to be fixed?

gregyoung14 · 06-18-2014, 04:30 PM

Beautiful car, if you're willing to piece out the Cobb AP v2 I'd be happy to buy it. If not I understand. Either way, GLWS.

Regards,
Greg

Honestly, no idea. The car didn't smoke before I went with a straight through exhaust. The moment I went catless, the car begin to smoke a bit on deceleration. This was well over two years ago, and the issue hasn't become anymore severe. All 135is appear to smoke a bit when you go catless, this isn't a unique issue to my car. If I were to keep the car, I wouldn't even worry about it and would continue to drive it every day. Thanks.

No part out at this time, but perhaps in the near future if nobody buys the car as it sits. I will keep you posted, but I'd rather sell everything together and let somebody enjoy the car. Thanks.

Thanks Greg, I appreciate it.

In reference to the car, I just had the oil changed at my local BMW dealer. She's readier than ever to go to somebody!

Great price, good luck

DudeManGTO · 06-28-2014, 08:46 AM

can you email me some more interior pictures (back seat, trunk, foot wells, ect) as well as engine bay pics to bourquein.usmc@gmail.com, how many miles are on the car as of now? Has any warranty work been done to the car? Beautiful car, even better price, look forward to your email...

Will do when I have a chance this weekend. It's my father's 70th birthday so I'm a bit preoccupied running around getting things ready. I will certainly take the pictures for you as soon as I can.

The car is approaching 58k miles now. I drive 50 miles round trip each day for work, so they keep adding up over time. The only warranty work I've needed done in the past nearly three years of ownership was the headlights, and a new shiftknob a couple years ago when the original one broke (?). Only other repairs needed were the two new coil packs and plugs, which I did myself in about 20 minutes. Thanks for your nice compliments about my car as well, take care!

I checked my email to include the spam folder. Don't know if you got a chance to snap some pics this weekend... Tell your pops Happy Birthday! Is it still the stock clutch?

NickyC · 07-07-2014, 04:46 PM

Apologies DudeManGTO (I had an 05 GTO as well, awesome car), but I've been working with a potential buyer.

Car is SOLD pending funds, I'll update this thread once it's gone, but thank you very much for all your interest in this great car!

DudeManGTO · 07-08-2014, 10:39 AM

I just sold mine in April

I miss it already... But it was time to move onto something else... I hope the sale works out, I've been watching this one for awhile, had to do some research on the puffs of smoke... Let me know if it falls through!

Thanks, but it definitely looks like the car has a new owner. Will update Friday night once it's picked up, thanks to everyone.

NickyC · 07-10-2014, 09:52 AM

Car has officially been SOLD! Congrats to the wonderful new owners, and I hope to still see the car posted about on the boards. I will miss it tremendously, it is a fantastic machine. Thanks to everyone for their interest in this car, and I hope you find a 135i of your own soon. SOLD
