Found mine on this thread, such a tank in the winter months we cannot fathom a suitable replacement at such an affordable price (slowly walking up in price now)

I found my Apline White RWD MSport on this thread as well. It checked every box I wanted except 6MT, so I snagged it and swapped it. I was crazy lucky though, that it was only 30 miles away from me.

Thank you E90 Post/E91s For Sale!

I think its been said already, if you have a certain spec/drivetrain configuration/color combo in mind, you really need to be searching nationwide. If you're not willing to buy sight unseen, then you need to be willing to book flights if something pops up. But that's the only way to find what you want. My E91 was local to me (80 miles South in Miami, so close enough), and it had everything I wanted, in addition to great maintenance history. I had to sacrifice on heated seats and interior color (both of which were remedied with a full interior swap), but I was ok with that given how perfect the rest was.

FWIW... Bought mine in 02/2020, Bluewater/beige, RWD/6AT, Nav, comfort access, xenons, 114K miles, paid $8000.

Good luck.

Cheap AWD 6MT in Bethesda, MD. Looks like a good price to me. A little rough but good enough for a nice beater.

In the market and you guys posting these is such a big help. Thanks for taking the time. Trying to find a decent 6MT AWD for an N54 swap and big build.

6MT AWD for the west coasters.

Looking closely at the pics this car looks like it’s probably pretty weathered/corroded from being on the east coast. Plenty of body imperfections as well. Seems pretty rich for the condition, no?

170k miles with multiple lights on at idle.
Guessing they’re “minor issues”. It would help the car if they were addressed.
An interior cleaning wouldn’t hurt either.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an m sport with halogen headlights.
Nice color combination.

Dealer gave a good accurate photos guessing a paint correction and ice blasting the corrosion of the under chassis would be a good way of cleaning it up.

Surprised this is not being sold on BAT by the Veloce guy. I like the color combo and it is rather odd with crappy headlights.

When I was in the initial thought of wanting a wagon I went and looked at a silver over black rwd auto in Orlando at a small dealer that was 40 miles from home. I was just meh with it at the time , and it was a one owner 100k mile car. Silver over black and at the time I didn't know all the packages, just first impression I was disappointed. I could have driven it away at the time for 6500. Looking back I was such a dummy for not grabbing it.

Honestly if you're looking to do a build like that stop worrying about trying to find a manual. If you're going to swap a motor and all the effort, it's barely any more work to swap the trans at the same time. Really you should buy a donor car and just look for a manual donor. Way more manual sedans than manual wagons available. If you buy a manual wagon unless you find that unicorn out there that you scoop up before the enthusiasts find it you'll be paying a premium and need a different trans for the N54 anyway as the 328 and the 335 use a different box I believe.

Oddly enough, the last one to go on BaT had halogens. I think it was one of the things that held it under $30K.

I have a donor 43k mile 335is vert actually as I’d considered doing an N54 M3 as well. If the non-turbo and turbo AWD trans are for sure different then yes it makes no sense to get a manual wagon.

I was shocked when I learned higher end models didn’t come fully optioned.
The lci halogens aren’t bad, just don’t see them often on wagons.

? There is no higher end E91 in the US. We got stuck with just the 325i/328i examples.

I was taking about BMWs in general.
When I was looking for an e70, I considered the x5m, thinking it would have all the options because it was the top trim. I was wrong.

Le mans blue + manual... If this had no rust/accidents/blemishes it would be a $25k car so someone will probably pay 18. I'd be surprised if it's still available

The HVAC fan buttons are worn down quite a bit. I see lots of rusty fasteners in the engine bay. I'll go out on a limb and say perhaps it is 118k miles, not 18k. I just bought a 335is a couple of weeks back with 17k, and it looks show room new. This wagon does not look show room new.
