2014 M135i
Hi,
Looking at potentially getting a m135i 2014 with 80-100k miles on it. I believe I am looking at the 3.0 single turbo option. Also would only get the auto 8 speed. Any common issues to be aware off? Gearbox/engine issues? Electrical? Body/chassis? Any pointers would be great Thanks Tim |

They're pretty reliable, fluids must be changed frequently as per schedule at least.
People complain about whining gearbox on the ZF8, knocking steering rack and exhaust flap rattle - no other real issues. For £26 you can DIY the steering rack knock Exhaust flap is easily fixed by bending open the spring ZF8 whine - not so easy, but have not heard of any failures, looking on eBay these gearboxes are cheap so indicates to me there's no real demand so pretty reliable |

Thanks for the info!
What's the engine and turbo like for reliability? Any valve seals, head gasket, rings etc issues - big jobs ha! Smaller ones are fine like basic gaskets etc Injectors? Any issues with the mileage range I'm looking at? I have a e90 330d, but it's a bit of a headache so might trade up if I can't fix it. So be good to know what to look out for 👍 |

EWG is just better if you're going to tune it as it will give slightly better results.
I think these engines are pretty reliable TBH - just make sure its been looked after - regular oil changes etc... |
