Hey everyone, I’m around on forums and people just recommended I drop a FS ad here and maybe I’ll get more luck. I know it is my first post here but I have the same/similar name on nasioc/1addicts/buffaloscooby/mbworld/roclife/etc… So, some of you may recognize it, others who don’t should know I’m not just some random poster looking to screw someone over. Anyway, with that out of the way, here is what I’m selling: $25k (Gets everything listed) 2009 BMW 135i (N54 motor) Space gray exterior Black leather interior 26k miles M-sport (It’s the auto tranny so it does have paddle shifters, m-sport wheel) Paint/Interior are both a 9.9/10. I would say 10/10 but obviously someone would be like “that isn’t how it came off the showroom floor.” Bottom line, its clean. Power seats Power mirriors Etc… What it doesn’t have: Cold weather (I know, bummer), Nav. Pretty much the only things I really see people caring about. Added on: OSS Headlights (amber delete/LEDS/pretty badass, expensive, and sought after in the 1 community) CF wrapped roof 35% tint on the windows JB4 (G5 board w/ cable) AA catless downpipes (OEM dp’s included) RPi intake scoops BMS intakes (OEM box is currently on) Paint matched kidney grills Also, no front plate holes are drilled which is nice Some final thoughts: I am pretty firm on the 25k. I am basically looking to get what I owe. As time goes on I can go down in price. The only thing the car would need is tires. Basically, I am selling this car because I really only drive my c63. The 1 is surprisingly quick (I’d be happy to show you) but the way I look at it is BMW has taken things too seriously. The 1/m3 are outstanding performers and can likely run laps around the Mercedes counterparts but the craziness that comes with the AMG is something I can’t give up. I am looking to add a second car, however, after the 1. Either an X5 for the winter which I’d probably get bored in or an 05/06 e55 amg and start collecting these things because they are that fun. I must sound like I’m selling mercedes at this point… Anyways, here are some pictures. Feel free to ask any questions. Kiva OSS lights on (fully functional, adaptive as well) [![http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n600/purpleheartsti/BMW%20135/IMG_0655_zpsc436ecf7.jpg](http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n600/purpleheartsti/BMW%20135/IMG_0655_zpsc436ecf7.jpg)](http://s1141.photobucket.com/user/purpleheartsti/media/BMW%20135/IMG_0655_zpsc436ecf7.jpg.html) Engine bay with bms intakes. Again, stock box is on now keeping miles of bms intakes.

^ He shouldn’t. Wasn’t my intention. Just sometimes people are scratching their heads wondering. My Sti was a manual and after driving that around (particularly on long trips) I found my hip to be in excruciating pain. Therefore I made the decision to stick to an auto w/ paddle shift for the time being. I have somewhat rehabbed/exercised over the past 3 years and can see myself trying out a manual again. However, I’ll always have to have an AT just in case. Anywho, don’t feel like an ass, it happens. My buddy has a twin turbo’d 370z which is also an auto w/ paddle shift. He gets some comments (usually negative) by that side of the car community who believes if it isn’t manual it’s a POS which is when he proceeds to remove his prosthetic lower left leg. That is a fun thing to watch. But I digress. As for this for sale thread, I am in the process of swapping this car however I can. Does anyone out there have a friend with a 135i with adaptive headlights? If so, can you send them my way because I may have an offer with regards to my headlights they couldn’t resist. Thanks ---

It’s so unnecessary and the control module is a very common failure since it’s at the bottom of the assembly. Any moisture that makes it’s way into the headlight just pools on top of it until it’s shot. ---

> [@Willybeen](#): > > I never had a lick of trouble with mine… Maybe it’s accident related. > > Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk Notice how I said ‘common issue’. 😉 One major cause was if you had to remove the rear access panel at all, it wouldn’t re-seal properly and would let moisture in. In my case, it was a shop that replaced a parking lamp bulb for me during an inspection and broke the tabs on the access panel. Fucking wonderful. ---
