Something Fun: 2008 BMW 135i M Sport
As the 3-series bloated into mid-sized obscurity, BMW needed to introduce something fast, fun, light, and small. Enter the E82/87/88 generation BMW 1-series for the 2005 model year. It might share many of its suspension components with the 3-series, but it was lighter and arguably better at everything short of hauling a lot of stuff. Today’s 1-series has the desirable 3-liter N54 twin-turbo inline-6 and a manual transmission. Find this 2008 BMW 135i M Sport offered for $13,000 in Cottage Grove, MN via fakerash bookbook.

Wow, three tips in a row from the Twin Cities! A sure sign that Minnesota has entered the season of fun cars stored for the winter and moto itch being scratched by dream scrolling sale sites
Ha! Between the Vikes and the Gophers, things get a little boring around here in November/ December.
These are great little cars, especially with the manual. They’re pretty cheap to run too, lots of common & shared parts. The N52 is a bit thirsty, and save up a bit for the shredded serpentine belts, oil filter housing gaskets, oil pan gaskets, and rusted tone rings on the rear axles.
Had a 2011 135i n55 (single turbo, versus the n54 twin here) w/DCT. Pretty easy to pull an extra 100hp out of these with some bolt-on(s) and a software flash. Mine had a lot of the problem areas addressed, various gaskets, hp fuel pump, coil packs, injectors, etc. Fun car for the 2 years I owned it. After chasing increasing hp/weight ratios for the last 3 sporty cars I owned this convinced me to go back to the “slow car, fast” mantra.
