A dealer up here that I've bought from in the past has a 2008 BMW 135i with only 45k miles. I currently drive a 2010 128i so I'm used to a 2 door sport-ish car.
The 135 has the m sport package which is a serious upgrade in ride and handling. I'd also upgrade to the 300hp I-6 engine.
I test drove it already. I want it and my wife said okay. I'm not willing to go into more debt to get it though so the dealer would have to seriously work with me. In my favor though they've had it for about 3 months and RWD cars don't sell here in Utah...
I have a 2011. The earlier dual turbo 135s had some intermittent problems, but they aren't the train wreck some folks like to call them. You can google it and read up on it.
Use the info as a negotiating tool. The M-Sport suspension is very stiff. If you live around potholed streets, be careful, those wheels and your teeth are expensive repairs. Worth it for sound of that engine though.
Good luck and enjoy.
