My '13 135i. Bought it one owner from a dealer with only 25k miles on it.
It was a maintenance nightmare. In 7k miles it needed a new battery, tensioner/belt, plugs and VC gasket, DCT needed reset multiple times so it didn't drive like crap around town, OFHG.........within a couple hundred miles it started making a nasty noise at high rpm.........my specialty mechanic couldn't tell if it was the beginning of rod knock or something in the DCT.
I drove down the street and traded it in on a 1-year old Madza 3 and lost my ass on the trade in. But I wasn't willing to risk needing a replacement DCT or engine.
