Vehicle Description
This 2012 BMW 1 Series 135i is a car truly built for us
enthusiasts. So it's truly special when you can find such a
beautifully preserved example that has also been made even hotter
by the tuner Dinan. That's how you know you really have found The
Ultimate Driving Machine.
Black Sapphire Metallic is an awesome factory color to have. It
makes this performance coupe as slippery as midnight. And because
this is a two-owner well-kept modern classic, the factory paint
still has an amazing gloss and shine. This one absolutely earns its
aggressive elements like the sporty factory body kit, blackout
grille, and special Dinan exhaust tips. In fact, you have such a
full midnight presentation on the body, that it draws even more
attention to the upgraded 19-inch HRE alloys.
Just like the exterior, the interior is a bold black affair, too.
This is a low mileage car that presents quite well. You'll only
notice a few little things like mild wear on the driver's seat, and
you know exactly why someone would spend plenty of time there. BMW
spends a lot of time in the engineering department to make sure
that you can power adjust this leather high-back seat to strike the
perfect balance of keeping you planted during hard cornering, while
also being comfortable enough to always take the long way home. The
steering wheel is exceptionally grippy, and the paddle shifters
mean you'll happily hold it with two hands during performance
driving. This high-trim 135i comes loaded with features like
automatic climate control, a power sunroof, cruise control, power
windows, power locks, keyless entry/ignition, tilt/telescopic
steering column, and a full AM/FM/CD/iPod infotainment system with
Bluetooth, navigation, and Harmon Kardon speakers. All this modern
luxury also means modern safety features such as front airbags,
side airbags, and anti-lock brakes.
What makes the 135i so special is that it was BMW's
smallest/lightest offering that also came with a turbocharged
3.0-liter inline-six that was shared with much larger vehicles like
the 5-Series. So think of this as the muscle car of BMWs. This is
an impressive 300-horsepower package, and that's even before Dinan
gets does its magic. This was given the Stage 2 software upgrade
and a cat-back exhaust upgrade, which likely gave this a 20 percent
power upgrade! This coupe also comes with the optional seven-speed
double-clutch automated gearbox, that allows you to shift quicker
than a manual via steering wheel paddle shifters, or you can just
leave it in automatic mode for more leisurely shifting. Add to this
four-wheel disc brakes, newer Michelin Pilot Sport tires,
speed-sensitive power steering, and one of the best-engineered
suspensions around, and you're ready to take the long way home
every day.
The sale comes complete with the original window sticker, owner's
manual, and two key fobs. While rarity and power often equal value
over the long run, we also won't blame you for adding miles to the
low odometer. After all, that's what owning a BMW is all about. So
if you're a true enthusiast, don't miss this one. Call today!!!
