Need a BMW pre-purchase inspection.

[Potomac-Greg]

Maybe. Just found out I can trade my G37C (2009, 24,000 m) straight up for a BMW 135iC (2008, 20,000). Probably can negotiate a little in my direction. Pretty much equal in options (except BMW has no nav). Drove the BMW and it makes me dislike the G37 more than ever.

To me the 135 is simply superior dynamically, and the things that favor the G (hard top convertible, nav, electronics, other?) just don't matter to me.

So tempting. Anyone know a good place for a BMW PPI?

Chapman Auto Werks (http://taylorchapman.com/default.aspx) or T.A.G. Motor Works (http://tagmotorwerks.com/home.html) if you must stay in Maryland.

[Cliff Claven]

If you want to stay in Rockville, Autoy-autowerke is another good option.

[Potomac-Greg]

Thanks, John. I really do want to stay in the area.

Doesn't the 135I fall victim to HPFP failures? I assume the car is not a CPO? I'm sure other websites are filled with all the problems of modern BMWs to not rehash here ;)

Sounds like a fun car. GLWTT

Alan H likes his 135i last time I checked. i say go for it!

... buy some extra HPFPs, throw some tool in the trunk, and move on. :)

Yep. No record that this car has had a problem, and BMW has extended the warranty on it. To me it's a reliability / stranding issue.
