The Appeal

Lighter and nimbler than an M3, the 300bhp 135i is the go-to choice for anyone who loves driving and wants every drive to matter. That capability makes finding a good one surprisingly tough, but here's exactly that.

Finished in classic Alpineweiss with 18in black multispoke wheels and a lovely suede-and-leather cabin, this largely standard 2010 car has been lowered to improve the stance. The vendor tells us that it was factory fitted with £17,000 of performance parts, including ultra rare lightweight Recaro front seats.

It has also been well maintained, with regular servicing by main dealers and specialists through September 2025. It has barely covered 400 miles since that work. Other maintenance has included new brake discs and pads and a set of expensive Toyo Proxes. The current MOT runs to August 2027 with no advisories. An airbag was replaced recently as part of a BMW recall.

The vendor says he bought this car in 2021, and the previous keeper owned it for nine years. Throughout that time, it has always been garaged. A very tidy and nicely kept example of these future classics.

The vendor says:

“The only place to be in you’ll see.”
