Hi, I’m Billy Biggns! You may recognize me from such threads as
E91 Production Numbers,
Too Many Tourings and
Style 437Ms on my E91. I spend most of my time here helping others locate a long roof of their dreams in the
E91s For Sale thread but today I’ll tell my story. What I thought would be a build thread is likely going to end up just a laundry list of maintenance items.
Rewind to 2016 and I had just become a father. I decided a touring would be more practical than my 335, so I posted my
lease for assumption and began my search. Initially a manual transmission was a requirement and even back then they were hot commodities. I missed out on a couple forum listings here (
modfear and
T.Stanley) and then was misled by a couple of dealerships when I thought they were negotiating in good faith. Lesson learned: always place a refundable deposit to hold a car you want.
