BMW 128i 6MT coupe 2010, maybe $2k challenge priced

I've always thought this would make a great track car, but I didn't think it was Challenge priced.  KBB says otherwise.

The good:

- 2010 BMW 128i coupe, six speed manual.

- Runs great, a very happy car to drive, needs nothing mechanical, properly maintained by me, I have records.

- Koni SRT struts and shocks, recent brakes, wider aftermarket wheels.

- new starter, valve cover gasket, most of the cooling system.  It did not overheat, I replaced all the plastic parts in the cooling system prophylactically when I had to take the intake manifold off to replace the starter.  I was planning to keep the car so I just did it all while I was in there.

- daily driven, not been sitting, it's really ready to go.  I drove it 400 miles last weekend and I'd drive it to Florida with no worries.

The bad:

- Dent in the drivers side quarter panel.  It got hit on the side, I replaced the door but did not try to fix the quarter panel.  The doorsill is a bit out of line, it would be expensive to fix right, but it absolutely does not affect how the car drives.

- 185k miles.

- cracks in the drivers seat.

Bottom line:

KBB says with this mileage the car is worth about $2000 before the dent. I would have thought I could get more, but who knows?

I'm sure I can sell this car locally, but if you have a Challenge or Lemons plan let's talk.  

Just wanted to say that I saw this and was a good boy. I hate adulting. 

Shhhhhiiiii ---- might pretend I didn't see this. Also might send it to my wife. Local, cheap, running/driving, and challengeable-ish. My next opportunity would be 2025 though.

Ann Arbor, Royal Oak....sounds like the Bob Seger song when he introduces the Silver Bullet Band....

Wow

Message sent!

Very tempting. Can you send/post some pictures, especially of the dented driver's side.   

I can lay eyes on it for anyone here. It's probably less than 30 minutes from me and I kinda know my way around these cars by proxy, as my DD is a 2010 328i RWD 6MT

If Robbie passes I'll get myself next in line.

I'm an hour away and third in line lool

[record scratch] A 128i 6mt is $2k book with a clean body?

Off to fb marketplace

Can you post up some pics?  Im a bit away but dang for that price its worth a peak

Doh, asked a question rather than took a number. Guess I'm bumped to fourth. Across the pond in WI.

Hopefully I'm either the top of the list or right near it. Didn't post, but sent a message in the Stampies personal restraint post, and ClassicJackets reply range. Fingers crossed.

We can't tell if you're trying to snipe....

yes we can.  we just don't want to say it.  \m/

Lol-i guess my email history and the OP are the only ones who truly know.

Figured I would bump this since after the initial wave of attention and line jostling things have gone quiet. So any update, e.g.,  seller with second thoughts on selling or a happy new owner waiting to make a reveal?  Either way pictures of what is or what could have been would be great to see. 

In reply to Boris3 :

Idk i messaged pretty early on and never heard back

Someone buy my 128i!!!! 

I have not heard anything either

No news here.

Sorry for the slow replies, I've been out of town a lot. 

I'm serious about selling the car but I'm not in a huge rush.

I suspect I could get maybe $3k locally but like I said, a credible $2k challenge plan might take priority.

Here are some photos.

Oh, the summer tires on the (1" wider?) aftermarket wheels are about used up.  I have a set of snows on the stock wheels, could go with the car or sell separately.
