Description

BMW M135i. Manual. The condition of this car both inside and out give the impression of a much lower mileage car. I've owned it since April 2017 when it had 24000 miles on it and it has been well cared for since. Finished in Black Sapphire Metallic with Ivory interior and black panel dashboard. Harmon Kardon speaker system, heated front seats, real time navigation system, auto dim & folding mirrors, rear parking sensor, auto rain sensor wipers, auto headlights, privacy rear windows. M Performance exhaust Birds B1 Suspension and Quaife LSD Celtic Tuning Stage 1 Engine Oil changes every 8000 miles (Castrol Edge 5W30LL & Liqui moly engine additive). Gearbox and diff oil changes every 30k miles. The car commutes 52 miles a day to work and back, along relatively traffic free A&B roads, so rarely sits in traffic and on the commute never gets above 2700rpm. Recent work includes fuel injectors replaced, engine, gearbox and diff oil changes. I've done the majority of the work myself (ex mechanic and aircraft engineer) with specialists doing work where I don't have the time. This has been a thoroughly reliable car and never let me down other than a split intake pipe (replaced by Turner Race developments) and an O2 sensor which was replaced by a local garage. Comes with a spare set of ignition coils. The not so good bits; Alloys could do with a refurb. Front tyres are close to the limit. Gearbox- there is a bearing that makes an unhappy noise first thing in the morning, for about a mile or so, then it goes away. Bristol Transmissions investigated it when it first started at around 135k miles, but they said it wasn't bad enough to identify what the issue is other than a 'noise'. They said to bring it back when it got worse. Its not got any worse and since then I've added Liqui Moly gearbox additive. There are 3 very small dents in the roof where a strip of 2 x 2 wood fell on it years ago, but you'd barely notice they were there. Age related stone marks across the front, but I've seen a lot worse. This is an amazing car for very little money. Be quick.
