Just picked up a RWD manual E91!
Hey there folks! Just snagged a 2009 E91 328iT RWD/6MT w/sport. I love me a good wagon and I am very very happy with this purchase. This car is meant to be my daily/winter car as I don't want to subject my other car (pic below) to snow and salt. Don't worry! This car will be kept clean and washed of salt and crap regularly. I take very good care of my babies.
 I've been doing a ton of reading here and the amount of aftermarket support is staggering compared to the other platforms I have been involved with. Looking forward to some mild modding and just general OEM restoration stuff like replacing worn trim pieces. Here is my other car, 2018 Caddy ATS-V 6MT aka "SLOPPY V"

Looks very nice. Love the wagons. Wish it came in a 335i in the US.

Great find and welcome to the Exclusive E91, 6MT club. I like the ATS-V also but I'm bit skewed towards the E91.

Where'd you find it? Nice Caddy BTW. They don't get much respect around here...

I love the Caddy, I completely understand the negative juju surrounding American "Luxury" cars. But man it is so much fun to drive!

Great car. I had a 2011 328i 6MT with ZSP (sports package). Drove it for 122K miles. Great car. Miss cruising at 130MPH in Germany.
I really like the wheels -- style 286. Do not seem them often as they were only on life-cycle refreshed 328i's w/ the ZSP package. Try to find a 2nd set of 286 wheels. This way you can create two 'square' setups, wide wheels for summer and thin wheels for winter. |

Worst case is I'll get a car from the last year of ATS production, get it past warranty, then do a trans swap.

How did you end up buying an ATS-V? Local dealer has a manual sedan listed at $80K but it's very difficult to see anyone paying that price. I've never seen one on the road.

Ugh! How can you even sit in a bmw wagon after getting out of a CTS/V?!
New body styyCTS/V coupe is my favorite contemporary car. Beautiful exterior and interior styling. Of course, the engine needs no explanation. Black Diamond coupe....,heaven 🤗 I’m kidding about your BMW, it’s great. But Cadillac brought the heat with the CTSV |

You can pick up used ones for under 50k though. They dropped in value extremely fast! I absolutely love it and have no buyer's remorse at all. Quote:
The CTS-V is a sick car, but the ATS-V is a lighter, sharper version of it. Less brute force and more agility. It's the most fun car I have driven to date!
