I got the blue one in Christchurch. As I do not see many nz New with adaptive suspension. I have driven a few and found the m suspension a little too firm for me during commuting. I don't really hear it in the car. But while idleing the ticking noise is up and down, if you know what I mean. Doesn't stay at the same ticking volume. It was used on short trips for about 1500km before I bought it I'll say. So I was thinking maybe worth while chucking in some decent Castrol?

Finally I bought an 2013 m135i. She drives beautifully but I started noticing tapping noise at idle. Is that normal? Is there anyway of getting rid of that noise? She is a jap import and done 60km Is it possible the dealer used rubbish oil in it? The service was done 3000km ago, should I change the oil so I know what's in it? Another strange thing I picked up. The dash displays when starting the car "service due 19000km" but after me driving it for 1000km, now it says "service due 20000km" very strange. shouldn't this figure reduce? Very puzzled. Hope you experienced BMW fellow members can give me some pointers.

Hi everyone. I have decided to buy a f20 m135i but I have some questions if anyone can help me select the right car. Both jap imports as I can't afford a NZ new https://www.trademe.co.nz/1338728490 2012 in black 69km. With reversing camera and nz gps etc. interior not in greatest condition, aircon makes a ticking sound when turning on or off. Steering wheel looks slightly worn. Looks very clean under the bonnet though. And it feels more powerful than the white one. Exhaust also sounds louder and auto start stop doesn't seem to work so unsure of it was disabled on the ecu or if it's faulty. Lastly only 1 key https://www.trademe.co.nz/1361415428 2013 in white 72km. No camera with gps. Car looks tidier inside and outside. No random noises. But there are a lot of black greasy looking patches under bonnet where the panels join up. I looked at the bolts on the front guards and doesn't seem like the car was re-sprayed. Comparing the two cars the older 2012 had those factory glue seals on some areas that the whites one doesn't have. It has both keys and better looking BMW wheel. Will be very thankful if you specialists out there on the forum can give me some advice please. I cannot decide between the two. And advise me the best place for an inspection for such ride Oh oh and the white one costs 3k more thank you all in advanced for helping me getting into my first Bimmer!!!!!
