Would u pay R310 000 for a 2010 bmw 135i DCT white with high mileage of 77000kms?
Just had brand new bridgestone runflats fitted (R16000)

If you guys say its a good deal will go for it otherwise i will walk away

Extras: m sports pack, rear pdc, sunroof , no xenons

Condition: excellent exterior and interior
One owner who did alot of long distance driving

My justification is i dnt do much mileage like max 8000kms a year and motorplan can be extended to 2017 once 100 000kms is reached

Please give your input..Will influence my decision

Thanks in advance

I would pay about R300k for it :thumbs: Its very difficult if you buying a preowned 135i, to get a DCT box in it. That will honestly clinch the deal for me :=): Also try to assess the owner himself, it can say alot about how someone treats their cars. Make sure you run the VIN through BMW (any dealership) to look at some of the services or repairs. It will also tell you if the car has comments on it. They should be able to email it to you.

Yes, motorplan can be extended to 2017 but will cost you 35k (2012 price) to extend it for that 2 years/15000km. You are more than likely going to extend km and that is expensive.

Overall, these engines are very reliable :=):

I hear u but your car should have been sold for more easily with all those goodies..i sold my wifes 2008 135 steptronic 40 000kms for R320 000 a few days ago

Spoken to bmw dealers and they said 300 000 is a good price as thats what they would pay for trade in

I dnt do more than 8000kms per year so if i sell in a year will be on 85000kms so im happy with that

if there is no comments on MP and it is still under MP then offer him/her 290k for the car,then you get the car checked out by AA then you claim all the stuff that needs to be replaced under MP.:thumbs:

Yep, you need to also use LC all over the show :rollsmile: Do you want to put a total aftermarket system?

I have narrowed it down to bmw performance exhaust (about R10800 excl fitment) and the Berk race exhaust axle back (R3800 excluding shipment, customs and fitment)
The berk sounds insane plus its axle back so easier to remove

The bmw performance muffler is very nice and the tone is amplified quite a bit when driving at mid to high ranges and sounds super nice on a cold start :thumbs: Like I always suggested, once you put in a DP, the tone is completely different for the better :rollsmile:

Agree with HardM3.

The bmw performance exhaust is still conservative in sound compared to the aftermarket options. So if it is bigger sound you want then the Berk is your choice but performance wise both will do the job. :thumbs:

Im thinking of the bmw performance cos of motorplan concerns..Is it true that if u put a rear axle performance exhaust and dnt touch downpipes and Cats u fine with motorplan?
I managed to get 10 % discount plus i can hopefully push for more..Justin from auto atlantic cape town said he can work more discount if im gonna take it..There is stock in jhb of bmw perf. exhaust
Hopefully i can get it for R9700 thats with 10 % discount

Hows the AC schintzer on the 135I? worth the crazy money?

Is there anyone in cape town with a 135i N55 with the bmw peformance exhaust? ..wanna hear it in person to make sure
