I have a 2013 DCT 135i. 76k miles. AW + Coral red. I’m in Wisconsin but I bought the car from Fort Lauderdale florida in November. Car is stupid clean and has had all the maintenance done in my ownership. Only reason for selling is I want something more practical. I’m looking for $18.5k.

If you are open to having a black exterior there's one for sale at Sunnyvale VW, checks off all your other boxes. I checked it out today, it's super clean in/out, new discs/pads, everything works as it should, transmission shifts smoothly, been a NorCal vehicle all it's life, etc. It was the first time I got behind the wheel of a 1 series and unfortunately it wasn't what I expected/hoped for so I'm passing on it. If interested hit up Josh @ 408-483-7712
https://www.sunnyvalevw.com/used/BMW...a402a1bd7c.htm

There's also a 2012 for sale in SF by private party, I have not seen it in person but looks clean and from the brief exchanges I have had with the seller it appears to be in mint condition:

Thanks for the headsup, i'm aware of the Sunnyvale black one, but not really keen on black on black. I may swing by to check it out if i'm ever in the South Bay. Just curious what about it did you not like or did it not meet your expectations? Was it the 1 series itself or this example?

I think the grey one would be nice, but is way too overpriced. If the Sunnyvale one was grey and with some negotiation i could probably make it work for me.

The black example was mint, if you are motivated jump on it quickly I doubt it'll last. Local NorCal used car sports market has been very active the last few weeks during my search.

The 1 series platform itself fell short of my expectation, I knew going in it would not be an M car but my plan was to drop ~$10k to modify it to a DIY/affordable M2 alternative. HP/torque numbers, 1/4 mile times, etc have no merit for me, I'm in the hunt for a highly visceral "go-kart" driving experience and the 135i was a bit too tame/numb in stock form for what I'm shooting for. I don't want to drop $20k on a clean 135i + another $10k in mods and still be disappointed. Only way to answer that is to get a ridealong in a modded one from a local forum member but with 'Rona peaking I'm not comfortable.

The asking price on the gray one is on the higher end but given the low miles, M package and recent service it's not totally unreasonable. If you can get it for $20k that seems fair. You get what you pay for, $15k might get you into a 135i but it'll have higher miles, fewer options, and potentionally cost you more in the long run sorting it out unless you are doing your own service.

Sounds like you're looking for a S2000 or Miata. I own a S2k and don't think you can get more go-kart like than it! I'm looking for a comfortable auto daily thats not as raw with some fun getaround. I'm not too excited about the black on black though. I'll keep it in mind. Thanks for the tips!
