2010 128i Manual! Slicktop! White on black!
- Clean Carfax - 94,029 miles

Uprgrading to something a bit newer and larger, but absolutely love this car. Sad to see it go but unfortunately don't have the funds to have two cars. Drives beautifully and sounds great too, NA in-line 6 for the win.

Tires have been rotated every 3,000 miles and the oil / filter changed religiously every 5,000 miles. I have been using 10w-40 liquimoly with uv dye. I have a special black light flashlight I'll include that will spot any oil leaks and I'm happy to say the entire engine bay is free of leaks!

A lot of work has gone into this car since I purchased it. All the spark plugs were replaced as well as two coil packs. It received a brand new battery, new headlight bulbs, new tires and a brake flush / fluid change. The brakes currently have 75% life left and are on drilled rotors, not sure what pads are on it from the previous owner. A few common N52 failure points have been addressed such as a plastic coolant hose fitting that disintegrates and leaks coolant everywhere. That plastic fitting was replaced with a metal fitting that will not fail as well as the coolant being topped off.
The oil filter housing gasket was also replaced and the front of the engine cleaned of any oil.
In addition the car just received a brand new idler pulley, tensioner and belt. I had my local BMW dealership perform 3 outstanding recalls and give me a report on the cars health (it's in excellent health). I was also told the suspension is in great shape, and it certainly feels that way.

There is a dent on the passenger side from the previous owner. In addition the passenger side door handle has a crack in it, however it still works. I haven't bothered to fix either because they don't bother me. I can provide closeups of the dent and handle if requested.


The car is currently sitting on four Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+ with less than 10,000 miles on them. I got a nick in one tire and replaced it so one tire has less than 2,000 miles on it and I have the spare with the nick (still held air). If requested I can provide pictures of tread and the spare.

The car currently is tinted all around (except windshield) and has a custom exhaust with 3inch stainless steel tips. Was ensured they will not rust along with any of the custom exhaust. In addition the car has a K&N drop in high flow air filter. Will upload sound clips.

Love love love this car, they're so hard to find and I'm definitely going to miss it. Maybe someday I'll afford to have it as a second car

Aiming to get at least $6500, think that's a pretty reasonable price. But I'll leave this up for around a two weeks and take the highest bidder if I get to my goal. (If someone offers a great deal I'll obviously take it down for them)

Will provide any photos requested and vin

I would move this to the "For Sale" forum with a list price. It should generate some interest.

Seems like a real winner to me. Lots of good maintenance [except only 2 new coils], good tires, etc. Colorado so I think not much/any winter salt damage and the great price. I think the body damage [door and rear quarter] would be $1000 but still overall, a very good car.

Agree about only two coils. When I bought the car the spark plugs were shot and part of my deal with the "dealership" was they would fix the plugs which they did but then proceeded to cheap out and only do two coils. However, I did follow up with a bmw tech and asked if he thought only replacing two plugs was an issue to which he told me it wasn't a big deal

There is a sub forum of this one called "Cars for Sale". Check it out. Lots of 135i activity right now so a slick top 128i will be fresh meat.
