2012 BMW 1-Series Description

It has come time to part ways with my 2012 135i. It's a 2012 model year with just over 60K on the clock. The car was a Certified PreOwned, and has the remainder of the BMW CPO warranty, which is power train out to 100,000 miles or late March of 2019, whichever comes first. It is a premium package car with the upgraded Harmon Kardon sound, which is one of the few times I have ever been able to say that the upgraded sound was probably worth it. It has full power leather seats, bluetooth, homelink, auto-dimming mirrors, etc. The interior is in near perfect shape, with only normal wear and tear on the floor-mats and the like, and the exterior has normal wear, with a few minor stone chips but otherwise looking good. I did remove the factory center armrest console, but I still have it in perfect working order and it can be returned to stock at the buyer's discretion. Personally I would highly recommend leaving it ou, as it was very squeaky and always in the way of my elbow when shifting gears.
As you can tell from the pictures, The car is not completely stock. Nearly all suspension work that could be done to turn a normal 135i into a track capable car has already been done, so it would make a great car for someone interested in track days. I never had time to track drive it myself, so it's not been beaten on as of yet.
The car is currently on 18" Apex Racing EC-7 Wheels in antracite, and is running Michelin Pilot Super Sports in 245 front, 255 rear sizes, which eliminated the factory understeer. The tires are only about 6 months old, and in near new condition. The suspension has also been modified from stock with the addition of factory BMW M3 control arms front and rear, M3 Rear sub-frame bushings, Ohlins R&T coilovers with swift front springs for additional clearance without change to the stroke or spring rate, and Dinan fixed front camber plates and rear shock mounts. The car was professionally aligned by a local racing shop, and has not been showing any signs of premature tire wear. The suspension modifications are absolutely without compromise, offering both much better ride quality and immeasurably better handling than stock. I would highly recommend the Ohlins kit in particular to anyone looking for a first rate upgrade to their suspension. It is quite simply amazing to me, and I am hoping that they will soon build a kit for my new car.
Other items that come with the car include the factory wheels, which are freshly powder-coated and currently unshod. They have the full TPMS system with them as well, as I purchased a new set for the new wheels. The plan was to use the factory wheels for winter tires.. The full factory suspension can also go to the new owner if they would like to have it, as I still have everything except the shock mounts, which should be replaced when changing anyway. I would also consider returning the car to stock for a serious buyer.
