Fantastic condition 128i M Sport. This car has all the desirable options, first and foremost the M Sport package, Hifi Audio, Bluetooth, M Sport steering wheel, and Sports seats. Drives and handles truly phenomenally. Gearbox and clutch operate perfectly. No issues of any kind came up during my ownership. No current mechanical issues on the car.
Ownership: I've had the car for 5k miles (1 year) and it's been great the whole way. I am the 2nd owner. Car has been garaged during my ownership. Accident free. Wheels, tires, interior and exterior in immaculate shape. I had Pilot Sport A/S3+ ultra high performance all season tires installed 2k miles ago. Car is completely stock.

That's a great color combo.
I recently picked up a silver on black 2011 135i MSport, 6speed as my daily and I'm in love. Such a fantastic little car, very quick too!
GLWS, these are really fantastic cars.

Nice car for the $!!!
We've had an M235i for 4 years and I think it's the best car/chassis/platform in BMWs lineup. Its been super reliable (knock on wood) with the only issue in 4 years being a passenger ABS weight sensor going wacky. Nice size, very fast, and just eats up miles.

Thanks guys! This car is really great. Actual weight on the scales for a similar car was right around 3,100lbs. I can tell its just a bit lighter than my 911. I wouldn't sell it at all if not for my wifes desire for a car with an automatic. We are going to compromise on a dual clutch but this beauty has to go.

I had a similar 135i M-sport ownership experience. What a great little car for the money! Good mileage, comfortable, sporty; it was my first real "performance" car. I "upgraded" to a 335is and still liked the 135i more, despite the motor being a bit smaller. The car was just very tight, and there is a great reason that the 1M commands such a premium on the used market; it is now more expensive than any slightly used M2, and for good reason.
BMW needs to make more cars like this and get away from the upscale Camry/Lexus platform. It can't compete with Lexus on value or resale, nor can it compete on reliability and cost of ownership, so what is BMW selling these days? Brand prestige? The right image is tough to capture and even tougher to maintain and certainly not enough to build a brand around. Who in their right mind pays $70k for an X5 when a Cayenne can be had for around that price?

They are great cars for the money, agreed!
