2012 Bmw 135i Convertible With /m Sport Package - Black/black on 2040-cars
Fairfax Station, Virginia, United States
Yes, this pristine BMW is a manufacture's buy back car - let's get that mentioned first. I purchased this car 1 year ago knowing that the original Georgia owner had (2) High Pressure Fuel Pump replacements and one instrument panel replacement on the car in under 3,800 miles. BMW had a serious problem with high pressure fuel pumps for a few years and it was not uncommon for them to replace them more than once on a vehicle under warranty. They were finally re-designed and that is no longer an issue. As a BMW Car Club Member, that sort of thing didn't bother me as parts modules can be replaced and this vehicle has a full BMW warranty through September 2015. Since I have owned it, I have put apps 10,000 trouble free miles on it. It has been to BMW Service exactly once for oil and filter change, micro filter change and new windshield wipers all under BMW's maintenance program and done at no charge. That continues for another 18 months as well. I replaced both of the rear tires on the car at 9,500 miles with the correct BMW-Approved Bridgestone Run Flats, as one picked up a nail and I don't believe in patching tires and always do both on an axle at the same time. The car is in excellent condition, freshly waxed with Zymol Carbon and Sealant on the paint. The only flaws on the car are slight curb rash on two wheels. Leather is treated regularly with cleaner and conditioner, and the car is hand-washed weekly, as well as always being garaged. 60-year-old adult owner, this car has not been flogged or modified in any way and is 100 % stock. Has all options in 2012 except for the Technology Package.
OPTIONS INCLUDE: * Leather interior * Heated Seats * /M Sport Package * Dynamic Xenon Headlights * Moon Glow Convertible Top * XM and HD Radio * DCT (Dual Clutch) Transmission * Auto-Dim mirrors and ambient lighting * Homelink Garage Door This car is a joy to drive, powerful and responsive. The Dual Clutch Transmission (not available in the 128i) gives lightening quick shifts without the drag of a torque convertor. This car needs nothing and is ready for spring top-down weather. Remember the BMW factory warranty is still in effect and that includes all scheduled service + loaner car if needed for another 18 months. I have clear title in hand. |

M235i outpoints 911, Corvette in CR testing, becomes highest-scoring BMW ever
Fri, 27 Jun 2014Good news just keeps coming for BMW, as Consumer Reports has just handed out a stunner of a verdict - the M235i, a spritely, 320-horsepower coupe that starts at just $43,100 has bested the likes of the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and Porsche 911, vehicles that can easily cost twice as much and come to battle with considerably more power.
CR awarded the spiritual successor to the 1 Series M Coupe a score of 98 out of 100, beating out the 911 and the Stingray by three and six points, respectively. In fact, the M235i is remarkably close to the Tesla Model S' 99, making it one of the highest scores CR has ever handed out. It's also, not surprisingly, the highest-rated BMW ever.
Of the M235i's many attributes, Consumer Reports cited the car's performance potential as well as its quiet ride and comfort for front-seat passengers. While it's a shock to no one, CR called out the limited space in the backseats as well as some finicky controls as this Bimmer's biggest shortcomings.
BMW recalling 1 Series ActiveE over bad drivetrain housing
Wed, 30 Jan 2013There are always growing pains when automakers introduce new technologies. BMW is learning this with the electric powetrain used on the 2011 BMW ActiveE. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, about half of the all-electric 1 Series coupes currently in the hands of the public are being recalled for a potential problem that could leave the cars stranded.
With 700 ActiveE models running around the US, 360 of these cars have insufficient sealing between the electric motor and transmission, which could lead to premature wear to the connection between the two, which in turn could result in a loss of propulsion. BMW started notifying affected owners by phone earlier this month.
While no automaker wants a recall on its hands, it's much better for BMW to learn such a lesson now on the low-production, lease-only ActiveE ahead of the car's successor, the BMW i3, which is expected to be a much higher-volume EV. Scroll down for the official recall notification.
Old vs. new debate gets new life with $25,000 Fiesta ST vs. E46 M3 showdown
Fri, 10 Jan 2014You know who you are. There's probably a few of you reading; the ones that say, "Why would I spend $27,000 on a new Mazda MX-5 when I could get a used Chevrolet Corvette with more power." Yes, we're talking to you, used car proponents. While it is a fair argument, it's not like used cars don't come with drawbacks of their own, though.
In an attempt to put this new-versus-used argument to bed once and for all, Matt Farah of the The Smoking Tire has picked up a pair of $25,000 cars - a used, but lightly modified, 2003 BMW M3 and a 2013 Ford Fiesta ST. Naturally, there's a comparison.
Farah, as he's wont to do, does get into the nitty gritty of what each car is like to drive, and discusses the merits of used and new-car shopping. But as he rightly points out while testing the M3, "So, it is a good car. But like any used car, it really does depend on the individual car."
