New to me 235
Just picked up a 2015 M235 black over black after many months of research and being extremely particular in the options/color etc. The car has 7100 miles on it and I paid $24,000. My last BMW was an E36 M3 that I should have never sold and I've owned numerous Bmw's over the years including several while I was stationed in Germany. Really, really like the car, perfect size, great handling, and actual steering feel. I picked it up from a dealer in Indy and drove back to Michigan. The car has had the brake fluid service and oil change but when I asked the dealer if the coolant had been flushed (it is low miles but it is 5 years old) the service guy said it didn't need to be done until 100,000 miles. I always assumed BMW's needed that service done more frequently than that? Am I missing something. Super happy with the purchase although I will say that I still can't understand why BMW doesn't see fit to have an oil temp and coolant temp gauge in a $50,000 car!

Or the $5 Torque app and a good $50 BT OBDII dongle.

Congratulations! Our car history is similar: I drove an e36 M3 for many years before I was rear ended. Switched to an e91 for practical reasons and have just committed to purchasing a 2016 M235i with 21K miles. I really like the P3 gauge suggested but it's way too expensive.

I didn't get a warranty as part of the deal. I wasn't too worried since I did get the vehicle history/maintenace report, and at that price I have a budget for any unexpected repairs. I actually was able to track down the previous owner who used it to drive to Florida. Couldn't be happier. He even added the carbon fiber mirrors and decklid which I would never have spent that kind of money on a cosmetic add on.
