The background story...  A little while ago, like 16 year old son put his Cobalt SS into a ditch. I posted about it when it happened. The car was a total loss. My older son happens to work at an auto auction where all the big name dealers go. He saw this BMW at the auction and was able to get it at wholesale cost since he knows the dealer. Thought it would be perfect for my younger son, but he didn't want it. I don't have much use for it right now, so I will list it here at my cost before I put it on CL at a higher price.

It has about 150k on it.  It runs and drives extremely well. Everything works, including all the pixels. The interior is remarkably clean.

Issues that are noted... The bumper cover is torn at the right front. I see no damage behind it, but you would have to stitch it back together or actually replace it.  When you get on the gas really hard and load up a rear suspension, there is a bit of creaking. It handles absolutely fine, but there is a slight creak when you really nail the gas at a stoplight.  The trim bezel around the shifter needs to be glued back down.

The car is with me outside of Atlanta.  I travel non-stop now, but if I'm not home my son can facilitate the sale.  The title is clean. I have the Carfax somewhere, I will have to find it. There is nothing really remarkable about it. The service history listed is fairly decent.

I was prepared for more issues, but even with the few listed, the 128i sounds like a winner. Good luck with the sale.

even with the automatic, that's a juicy little car.  change ATF and filter (molded into the pan, booooo!) every 60k and it should be quite reliable. my 2007 525xi automatic (same engine and trans) was at 225k and going strong right up to the moment it was totalled. :-(

I have a set of M-sport wheels from a 2010 128i that I need to sell. They'd look good on the car for sale!

That's not a bad deal. I have loved owning every BMW I've had (still own two), and even regretted not holding onto some. Glws

I'm surprised it's been this hard to sell, but it's still here.  Looking for offers
