BIMMERPOST / Classifieds

Asking Price:

None

Item Interest

As the title says, I'd like to trade my 2008 VW R32 for a 135 or 335. Ideally, I'd like it to be MT and around 40k-60k miles. As for my VW, it has around 51k miles on it and I was the only owner of it. It has an AT 6 spd DSG transmission (the MKV R32's only come with DSG). The car was serviced at the dealership 99% of the time and I have almost all the service receipts. The car has a 100k power train warranty and all the payments have been paid off. I just replaced the front & rear rotors and brake pads. The interior is in great shape and the exterior is in mint condition. I am willing to trade the car with the OEM wheels and my aftermarket ones as well.

Mods:

Koni struts & shocks
Neuspeed springs
18" O.Z. Ultraleggera's w/ stock Dunlop Sport A/S's
Eurojet cat-back exhaust
10" Alpine type-R sub powered with a Kenwood amp
Ziza side marker, city, & license plate lights
Hole-less grill
10% Rear tint and 35% Front tint
Smoked Lamin-X Tail Light tint
Hardwired V1
Faux blue suede interior trim

A Few Stock Pics:

Installed yellow H7's:

All Clean:

Lamin-X Tail Light tint

Feel free to post possible trades. I am new to e90 post so I am unable to PM for now. I will be posting more recent photo's soon!

Are you looking for a straight trade?

Depends on the trade, either party may need to throw up some cash as well. PM me if you're interested.

No offense but don't think anyone in a BMW would step down to a VW. You're best off selling your car then buying whatever you want.

Thanks for your advice but I've had several PM's already. A mkv R32 isn't that big of a step down, you should re-evaluate your statement.

INDIANJOE · 02-29-2012, 05:57 PM

Not trying to talk down to a R32 owner because they are quite cool and quick..for what they are. Try the Audi forum.

GT1281 · 02-29-2012, 08:04 PM

Good luck! The R32 is a great car. You might need to throw in some cash but I think you'll find what your looking for. You'll definitely love the 135 when you get it.

You'll love the 135! I also had a MK5 R32 before and loved it too. Some day I even miss my R32.

John Dempsey · 03-01-2012, 09:58 AM

I don't think anyone is going to even consider trading a BMW for a VW. Let alone add cash

ballski · 03-01-2012, 10:05 AM

do what I did... sell the VW first, then find the right BMW

Quit dogging on people who are trying to join the community dude

John Dempsey · 03-01-2012, 12:06 PM

Not dogging this guy. Just being realistic. It's a nice car. But he should just sell it then buy a 1.

I would think more so for the 135i.....but either or i wouldn't trade neither and i've had both.......Not knocking just don't really like egg shape cars. and it most likely is a 4cyl turbo, (never really into vw's so don't know sorry if I'm wrong.) No thanks i'll keep my torque.....

Yeah, I mean if no one wants to trade the market will tell them. No need to put anyone down.

OP: I wish those came in manuals. Those V6's sound sweet!

Ratherhavemygti · 03-01-2012, 11:27 PM

R32 is a great car.

JustSomeDude · 03-01-2012, 11:58 PM

I sold my MkIV R32 before buying my 135i. I have to say, after several months, I regret it.

Brian@bavarianx · 03-02-2012, 12:05 AM

That VR6 is a great sounding motor! That DSG is a pretty quick transmission also!

GLWS and hope to see you join the BMW community soon

Silky · 03-02-2012, 12:08 AM

If the mkv R32 came in MT and a turbo I would definitely keep it. I look forward to joining the BMW community, hopefully I get that job offer so I can use that bonus!
