Wow I just read the title wrong, I read it as How to spot a dogging car :w00t:
I need to get my mind out the gutter

Facelift model appeared in March 2015 I think, I remember feeling slightly peeved as I'd only had my 135i for a few months.
I imagine the car must have sustained fair damage to go to the trouble of replacing the tailgate, possiblly shunted requiring front a rear repairs :?
If you want a good example I'll sell you my Aug 2016 M140i with 800 miles on the clock for 50K

Deal.....can I pay you 11k up front and the rest monthly??
On a side note, what was your impression of the M135i pre LCI? I’m looking to replace my wife’s Peugeot RCZ with one.....when I can afford a non cat d, dodgy example

I was really happy with mine, the N55 engine has more character than the current B58 and sounds better at higher revs but slightly less refined as I think BMW added an extra silencer to the 140i. I had the manual as I have with my current 140 so can't comment on the auto but overall its a fine car, just need to careful in the wet, greasy roads and winter tyres are a must as easy to lose traction, different league to the Peugeot.

Your car only has 800 miles on it!! How much must you have lost in depreciation just to have that car and do only 800 miles?
You could probably have been chauffeur driven everywhere you wanted to go in the last 2 years cheaper.

Depreciation doesn't matter as I'm keeping the car indefinitely, whichever way 800 or 800,000 it will still depreciate, just means I can keep the car longer before it falls apart

Its on a 4 year PCP Ron and will be buying it off BMW end of term. With the mileage being kept low I imagine it will be worth more than the balloon payment but it makes sense to me to keep it than trading in for another new car. I really don't fancy the 4cyl replacement either :thumbsdown:
