BMW 135i or similar - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I'm looking at these for a new daily. Anyone have one? Any major issues I should look out for?

I'm not stuck on the 135i but I do like them from what I'm reading.

I want something RWD, manual, coupe, under $25k.

Thanks all.

I have some experience with the N54. Mine was a sedan, but I've driven the 135i. It feels good, but I prefer the E92. Just looks better IMO. Goes without saying, but you really have to find a really well taken care of 135i or it will be a nightmare. I had several issues, but I fell in love with the first 335i I saw. They're all great cars and if you find the right one, it will be a lot of fun. Crazy potential. There's always the 128i/328i which is what I wish I would've gone with for reliability purposes but yeah lol you have a good budget for a daily so I'm sure you'd be able to find a good one. Good luck
