This BMW 135i is a well-presented and exciting compact performance car, in the sought-after M Sport specification. It is powered by a 3.0-litre straight-six engine producing around 301bhp which is sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed M-DCT dual-clutch transmission with paddle shifters. The car was last serviced in February 2021, the odometer shows 102,418 km. This 135i Coupe is presented in Alpine White over a black ‘Boston’ leather interior, with black carpets accented by pressed aluminium trim inserts. It rides on 18-inch M Sport alloy wheels shod in Hankook tyres. The vendor reports that the front tyres need replacing, but that the rears have a few millimetres of tread left. Other exterior options on this car include xenon headlamps, the factory M Sport body kit and spoiler, a ‘shark fin’ antenna, a sunroof and front and rear parking sensors. Inside the car options include electrically adjustable seats, a leather-trimmed gear knob and steering wheel, BMW M scuff plates, an iDrive system with dash mounted LCD screen, air conditioning, cruise control and steering-wheel mounted controls. Also included is the optional Harmon Kardon 300W 10-speaker sound system with DSP and 8-inch subwoofers under each seat. Upgrades over standard include BMW M3 control arms, and a baffled sump. It is supplied with a stamped service book, all the original BMW owner’s manuals and a selection of maintenance invoices from the current owner. There is no impact damage present on the bodywork. The Alpine White paintwork is in generally very good condition, showing minor wear expected on a car of this age. The vendor notes that the underside of the front bumper shows some scratches due to the front end being low and scraping easily, some stone chipping on the front end, and some scuffing on the rear bumper from loading the boot. Inside, the cabin presents well, with some creasing and light wear on the black leather sport seats. The vendor notes some cracking in the leather on the driver’s side bolster, and some noticeable wear on the start/stop push button. This 135i’s most recent service was performed during February 2021 at 96,100 km by local European and marque specialist Andrawos Automotive. The service consisted of an oil and filter change, and the replacement of the oil pan gasket, installation of a baffled sump, and a dual-clutch transmission service. Prior to this, the car was serviced during October 2020 at 91,279 km by Andrawos Automotive, which was a standard oil and filter change service. The vendor also had the spark plugs and coils changed at 84,842 km, a front wheel bearing on the car changed at 85,260 km, and a brake fluid flush at 90,000 km – with all work performed by Andrawos Automotive. During May 2020 at 83,000 km the car was serviced by Mercedes-Benz in Adelaide, which was a standard service prior to the current owner’s collection of the car. This 135i M Sport is a well-maintained example of the breed, often referred to as feeling like a BMW M car of the past to drive, thanks to its short chassis, engaging handling and punchy straight-six power delivery. This car has been well looked after by its current owner, and is now ready to impress its next custodian out on the open road.
