2011 135i (DCT for Sale)

BIMMERPOST / Classifieds
Asking Price:
USD 9,500.00

Item Interest
Hi everyone.

I’m selling my beloved 2011 135i after a bit over 4 years of ownership. I’m selling because I bought an (F87) M2C for daily duties.

-VIN: WBAUC9C51BVM09261
-Basic Specs: 111k miles, DCT, Deep Sea Blue, Boston Beige Leather interior.
-Full specs: mdecoder.com/decode/wbauc9c51bvm09261

Note to readers: if you are looking for a garage queen, with 7k miles, clean Carfax, never driven in rain, etc., this is not it.

If you are still with me after that Note, here is some useful background.

Prior ownership
I’m probably owner 5 or 6. I understand the first ~50k miles the car saw mostly SF roads. The last owner had some fender-bender and I understand some city crime (SF…) which led to some glass repair. So you’ll see some moderate/minor remarks in Carfax. The rear passenger fender paint does not have the same shine, prior owner probably didn’t care but it’s obvious. The rear passenger small window was poorly sealed, so I changed it for a new one. The AC wasn’t working well, I had that changed too.

My ownership
I used the car to commute and thus the car saw ~60k highway miles at speeds between 70-80mph. Easy miles. I serviced it at VT Motorworks (Pleasanton) and M Service (Walnut Creek). Have changed oil usually around 5-7.5k miles.

-Mods: OEM CF rear lip. RW (I think) poor fitting rear diffuser. VMR wheels (minor chips). I changed the taillights for the slightly darker looking ones. I’ve the original ones if you want them.

-General condition: car drives great and engine is a peach. With good maintenance, this car can reach 200k miles easily. Has never caused me trouble or left me stranded. Cosmetically there are multiple areas of wear and tear.

-Suspension: good condition, haven’t done anything to it during my ownership

-Paint: Front bumper (especially) and hood have many chips. The rear quarter (passenger side) paint, as mentioned, seems off – duller looking. No major scratches.

-Interior: Driver seat bolster has a crack. Overall, pretty good.

-Glass: 3m Crystalline tint all around. Had to replace a cracked windshield and used XPEL windshield PPF. It’s in bad shape, with scratches and many marks. Note to self: Exoshield has held up much better in other cars. I also changed the rear small windown as mentioned above.

-Mechanical:
2025: Replaced HPFP which was dying (2025). Replaced upper and lower radiator hoses and power steering line
2024: New rotors/brake pads/flush
2022: Changed AC unit (compressor, etc.) + replaced spark plugs
Passes smog


What needs to be fixed: There is a light bulb warning. I think the windshield wiper fluid reservoir must have a very slow leak. I know there is a slow transmission leak, that certainly needs to be fixed. Shop said there was no rush but better to get it addressed sooner rather than later.

-Tires: Michelin PS4 at probably 5/32

I will certainly miss this car and love its size. The M2 feels bigger and heavier.

DM me if you are interested. I prefer an in-person transaction and in cash. Serious buyers please or Ill go down the Carmax route, which would be a shame because the car is great.

Hello,

What is the Carmax offer you will be going with if you don’t find a private buyer?

Haven't been there but checking online I'm guessing they will offer 5500-6500.

What a joke. This car is way to nice to not sell for this steal of a price. Come on someone has to know someone. I might seriously buy this to save it from carmax auction.
