New (to me) 2010 6MT 135i

[CU335i]

I picked this car up a couple of months ago after looking for a long time for a low mileage black on red 6MT. I’ve owned a few 135i’s and this is by far my favorite. The car has 48k miles and has the m factory LSD along with some other tasteful mods.

I’ve slowly been making it mine and catching up on maintenance items. I put the VMR wheels on it, did all the gaskets and coolant lines, put index 12 injectors in it and have changed all the fluids. Got rid of the jb4 and put MHD on it. So far I’m loving the car although it doesn’t get driven much.

Anyone else with low mileage e82s?

Looks very good and, because you had them before, you know all the weak points. And I'm sure you got a very good one simply b/c you already do know them. Hope you keep this one for a long time.

Thank you! Yes, I’ve done my fair share of work on them. I’ve owened some n54 335i’s as well so I’m very familiar with this platform. I have a list of items that I address ever time I buy one so that they don’t leave me stranded lol

Thank you! They are VMR v710’s. 18x8.5 et45 in the front and 18x9.5 et50 in the rear. I had to run 5mm spacers up front so they didn’t hit the coilover.

Yep that’s Keowee haha are you local?

Love it! The LSD is aftermarket, right?

Nice looking car. Interesting that it has the sport seats, but seems to not be M-Sport.

Thank you! Yep only the 1m came from the factory with the LSD I believe.

Thanks! A lot of them actually have sport seats but aren’t real M sports. A lot of people think their cars are m sports when they aren’t. I’ve owned 3 different 135i’s and none of them were m sport but all had the sport seats.

Nice looking car!

Just picked up my first 135i last week and am fully in love with the car.

I went for the DCT and have been happy with it but I keep thinking about how nice it would be to have a third pedal again..... May have to keep my eyes open for another clean one with a manual.

Love that Double Din stereo upgrade, didn't know you could fit that in these cars.

Radio setup looks oem!

Very nice 1er, enjoy the drives!!

Nice car!

I believe the sport seats are common across the Sport and M Sport packages. Non sport seats are in cars without Sport or M Sport.

For the 135i, M Sport adds black headliner and Style 261 wheels, door sills and different shift knob and brake handle.


#1). ZMP option code
2MR 18" double spoke wheels #261M
337 M-sport pack, door strips in M, shifter & hand brake all M
481 Sport seats
710 M-sport steering wheel
760 Shadowline trim
775 Anthracite headliner (black)
840 Increased top speed limiter


#2). ZSP Sport option code
481 Sport seats
710 M-sport steering wheel
760 Shadowline trim
840 Increased top speed limiter

Do you know what android unit is in the car ? That’s one of the cleanest installs I’ve seen. Does it work well and does it have apple carplay. Been debating upgrading but don’t want a dash top unit.

Really liking this as well.
Im so torn between keeping the dash original and using a BT dongle, and going full android screen.
