Digging the red leather! Wish my “fun” budget was about $13,500 higher!

Nicely specced and upgraded. What’s the timing belt interval on these? I would think it’s due soon, no?
What’s next after this one is gone?

It’s a chain, on this car, not a belt. So theoretically it’s good for a very long time.

Chain, no belt :)
Next is most likely an F30 335i M-sport

The blacked out headlight/taillight rings look really good

One of the first things I did when I got the car. Amazing how much of a visual difference they make.

My mistake, I remembered these having a fairly common issue with the timing system but that’s the timing chain tensioners, not a belt, my bad.
Excellent choice on the Bimmer. Are you going CPO or new? I think the LCI cars are coming up soon, if not already, which would include the 340i replacing the 335i with a bit more power. I think that’s a new engine though, which I would probably shy away from.

Looking at CPO unless I can somehow get a silly deal on a new ‘15 since the LCI are pending. Also somewhat considering the M235i but there aren’t a ton of CPO yet since they are still new to the market.
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles

My dads 2011 GMC Acadia just got the dreaded timing chain issue and were looking at at least $3000 since the engine has to be dropped for access to it. It only has 75,000 miles on it. Older Acadias had an extended warranty for the chains but apparenttly they fixed it for 2011 so were not covered... Our mechanic told him to trade it in before it grenades and get a new car but somehow $3000 sounds better than putting $15,000 on top of trade in for a new car.

They do have a few issues with the chain tensioner, but what car doesn’t these days.

Ouch. I’ve got a VW with a chain as well and VW/Audi has made engines with timing chain tensioners issues in the past. While I’ve got most of my warranty left, I’m hoping mine won’t be affected.

Dang I’m in NY and actually looking for a Cooper S but an R53 for (quite) a bit less than that.
Yours looks good though! I’d be willing to pay a little more for a lower mileage one but finding them with less than 100-125k miles is pretty tough by itself and I just want a well maintained one which is another challenge in itself.
