I just think it's a lot of extra miles for the $2k. Plus who could go wrong with RED. Very un-German.

I agree, #1 Although #2 has some nice additions like the bluetooth and winter wheels and tires, i just think that only $2k less is not enough for 30k more miles.

#1. I agree with SpacE82. Lower mileage is more important. And the '08 iDrive blows.

I agree.... The main thing is the miles...

But I have to say I am slapping myself right now because Im paying off a $42k car... I looked around and found them for 5 ta 10k less... So I felt I would rather start brand new... But in the high 20s.....

#1, less miles justifies the price.

If you don't mind the red, easily #1 for me. If bluetooth is important, that can be added on. 30k miles is a huge difference.

#1 - Because of the miles and also stuff like Nav/Bluetooth can be added on for pretty cheap

These two vehicles I'm looking at getting are here in Germany as I am. Houston really wouldn't be an option right now. Thanks for all the input thus far everyone.

Well it looks like the seller of the #1 135i has another buyer and he wont wait for my bank to send the funds on next Tuesday. Kinda sucks because I was the first to come and see and test drive the car. On top of that, I drove just over 200 miles round trip to go see. Yh that doesnt sound like a serious buyer??? Anyways, majority was definatley pushing towards #1 but I am still interested in the second one. Correct me if im wrong but its still a good deal correct. If I dont get back in to a N54 platform then I will be getting in to one of the new 5.0's. Any other insight is welcome.....
