Putting my 2009 BMW 128i up for sale, located in Camp Hill, PA (just outside Harrisburg). This is my second 128i, and the only reason I'm selling is because I'm unexpectedly buying my old one back and need the garage space. This E82 currently has ~79,300 miles (may go up slightly with occasional drives) and features the desirable Sports Package (factory sports seats, rear sway bar) and six-speed manual transmission.
VIN: WBAUP93539VF45960
Title Status: Clean
Accidents: None
Price: $9200
I bought this car in November 2023 from its second owner, who had purchased it as a BMW Certified Pre-Owned from Sun Motors in Mechanicsburg. Records show the clutch/flywheel was replaced around 48K miles. I've gone through it extensively to ensure it's mechanically sorted and refreshed, aiming for a subtly enhanced OEM+ feel.

Extras Included:

- Sparco Wheels (17x7.5) mounted with 225/45R17 tires (Summer/All-Season).
- Original M-Sport springs (if you prefer that setup over the installed BMW Performance springs).
Condition:
The car is mechanically sound and ready to be enjoyed. Cosmetically, it "shows well" but isn't perfect, consistent with its age and mileage:
- Some parking rash on the front bumper.
- A weird crease on the passenger-side door – it's subtle unless you're looking for it, and a PDR tech confirmed it's fixable.
- A small bump on the passenger-side rear fender.
- Two small dents on the top of the trunk lid (I considered covering these with a BMW Performance spoiler).
I am open to offers. Looking for a straightforward sale to a good home.
The car recently had the PCV recall completed at Sun Motors and they performed this walk around video:

Alignment and inspection was performed at Kassel Performance in York. You can see receipts for most of the work, alignment specs and their inspection in my Google Driver folder.
