128i Details: *Ignore this section if you’re familiar with the car*
This car is equipped with BMW’s simple, reliable, and silky smooth N52K powerplant. It makes 230hp @ 6500rpm and 200lbft @ 2800rpm. This car is, in many circles, regarded as the last of BMW’s pure & simple driver orientated cars, due to its direct feel, proven naturally-aspirated inline 6, and lack of unnecessary doo-dads. In a world of direct-injected turbocharged cars overflowing with gadgets, there’s something to be said for a simple port-injected NA inline 6. In terms of performance, think of this car as a newer version of the E36 M3. It returns 20mpg City and 28mpg Highway (I’ve had more like 31mpg at 70mph). A simple 3-stage DISA intake manifold swap and tune will add another 30hp for those looking for more power.


Ownership History:
This was originally an Ohio car, purchased new by an older female. It was serviced as required by BMW, and traded-in with 24k miles on the clock. The second owner purchased the car as a Certified Pre-Owned, and moved to Florida with it shortly after. This owner also had the car serviced exclusively at BMW Dealerships, and maintained good record keeping (as I do). I purchased the car earlier this year from him, and had it shipped from Florida to NY. The car will come with a 1” thick stack of records, organized chronologically.


Body / Interior:
There is absolutely no rust on the body anywhere. There is one tiny shallow ding on the hood above the driver’s headlight. It’s so minor I’d have to point it out in person. There are no other dents nor dings on this car anywhere; it’s in extremely good condition. There are some tiny chips on the front bumper as one would expect, and I’ve touched them up with BMW touch-up paint. Overall, body is a 9/10 and I’m extremely picky. The interior is also in great shape, with the only exception being an odd spot of peeling of the leatherette, located on the driver’s seat thigh bolster. I bought it like this and am not sure how it happened. Otherwise, the interior is wonderful; another 8.5/10. The car is garage stored and never driven in poor weather. As soon as snow hits, a trickle charger and flannel cover will go on.


Add-Ons:
-Bilstein B8 Sport Plus Struts / Shocks (paired with stock M-Sport springs & <1000 miles)
-ECS Brake Kit w/ Slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads all around
-DR37 Wheels in Hyperblack, 17x8 ET42, square fitment (inexpensive but lighter than stock)
-225/45/17 Cooper Zeon RS3-S Ultra High Performance Tires (<1000 miles)
-AFE Stage 2 Air Intake (recently powdercoated heat-shield)
-BMW Performance Black Kidney Grills
-Interior Light LED Conversion (cool white)
-Retrofitted OEM alarm upgrade
-35% tint (really helps to keep the leatherette cool in summer)


Wrap-Up Questions: I’ve been as forthcoming and honest as one can be when selling a used car, and insist that you read this post and carefully review all provided photos / documents in their entirety before contacting me with questions.
Why are you selling?: I will likely be moving in the near future, and that means losing my garage. This car deserves better than to be stored on the street, so I’ll be downgrading cars accordingly.
Offers: Lowball offers will be ignored, and haggle offers should come only after you view the car. Be respectful. If you find a cleaner, better equipped, enthusiast owned car for less, buy it.
Trades: I’ll consider them, but it’s unlikely we’ll make a connection.
Contact: PM me for contact info. Do not call or text me after 9:30pm.
