It is with regret that I list my 135i for sale. This car has been my pride and joy for the last 3 years and it will be a real shame to see it go.

Thanks K-Bag. I cannot understand the lack of interest. This is a very clean, honest, extremely well maintained accident free car with big dollars spent. Surely there is a new member on the forum looking for a complete car with all the work done?

I've also received a number of PM's overnight re various parts. As soon as I have a buyer for the car any remaining parts will be made available. Thanks for your ongoing patience.

[vtl]

The main thing is these cars have depreciated a lot recently and in general the autos aren't as desirable as the manual ones.

As nice as the mods are, in general they don't increase the value of the car much and can turn off potential buyers. Even if a buyer does want the mods they won't want to pay a premium for it. I think you'd be better off parting it out, you'd have no problems selling most of the parts on the car.

Good luck with the sale though!

[OzJustin]

Thanks Vince. Yes it's a shame that the majority of buyers cannot appreciate the time, effort and money that goes into modifying a car well to a higher spec. I guess I'm waiting for that buyer who wants a complete car and can see the value in buying one already done with no corners cut. As they say, it would cost way more for someone to buy a stock one and then build it to this level themselves.

[OzJustin]

Price now $28,000 firm. Surely someone wants an early Xmas present?
