Need Help Buying a New 1er
Hey guys,
Ive been looking for a 135i for a while. Im looking for an N55 white coupe. I found one that has a lot of mileage 108k. https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/...102745686.html I know it is low for a 135is and it does have a lot of miles but it doesn't look that bad, I'm just wondering what you guys think. Do you guys know of any other 1er(white coupe n55) for sale near Southern California? |

The mileage would not scare me if owner could show real good maintenance records which include proof of at least 12 oil changes. Now by "proof" even owner written records for some oil changes are OK. There should be some records on the trouble spots, fuel pump for instance. What brand of tires are on the car? Michelin, Pirelli, Toyo, Bridgestone, etc = very good. Wang Ho Super Track = not so good.

I personally wouldn't touch anything with that much milage, especially a German car. My old S4 still gives me nightmares.
But, if ALL maintenance has been addressed, and it passes a PPI with flying colors, then I suppose it could be a worthwhile purchase. As always, do your research, and have at least $1k available in case of unexpected repairs.

Thank you guys for the responses. Yea that does make sense, it seems like most people think that the n55 has some longevity but its kind of a mixed bag. A 135i was just reposted after it was taken down for a while. I am going to get a ppi on it and I should be able to pick it up soon.
Thank you for all the help |
